Hi all,
I'm having some trouble configuring ident authentication for TCP
connections. I can get it to work fine for local connections, but I
can't
Local connection:
$ psql postgres
...
postgres=>
Server Log:
Dec 9 11:06:59 mitchell postgres[27482]: [4-1] LOG: connection
received: host=[local]
Dec 9 11:06:59 mitchell postgres[27482]: [5-1] LOG: connection
authorized: user=koczan database=postgres
Dec 9 11:07:03 mitchell postgres[27482]: [6-1] LOG: disconnection:
session time: 0:00:04.370 user=koczan database=postgres host=[local]
Remote connection to localhost:
$ psql -h localhost postgres
psql: FATAL: no pg_hba.conf entry for host "127.0.0.1", user
"koczan", database "postgres", SSL off
Server log:
Dec 9 11:07:06 mitchell postgres[27494]: [4-1] LOG: connection
received: host=localhost port=41434
Dec 9 11:07:06 mitchell postgres[27494]: [5-1] LOG: could not
connect to Ident server at address "127.0.0.1", port 113: Connection
refused
Dec 9 11:07:06 mitchell postgres[27494]: [6-1] FATAL: Ident
authentication failed for user "koczan"
Dec 9 11:07:06 mitchell postgres[27495]: [4-1] LOG: connection
received: host=localhost port=41435
Dec 9 11:07:06 mitchell postgres[27495]: [5-1] FATAL: no pg_hba.conf
entry for host "127.0.0.1", user "koczan", database "postgres", SSL
off
My pg_hba.conf file looks like this:
# TYPE DATABASE USER CIDR-ADDRESS METHOD
local all koczan ident sameuser
hostssl all koczan 127.0.0.1/32 ident sameuser
I'm running Red Hat Enterprise 5.4, and I can't find any place where
an ident server is actually running on this host.
How is it working for local connections, and what might I be able to
do to get it to work for localhost TCP connections.
Thanks,
Peter
