Hi
I created the following role
postgres=# create role sde LOGIN PASSWORD 'passwd' SUPERUSER NOINHERIT CREATEDB;
CREATE ROLE
postgres=#
However from the command line as the postgres user I can do
-
-bash-4.1$ psql -d testdb -U sde
psql (8.4.13)
Type "help" for help.
testdb=#
So logging on to the testdb database without entering a password.
Is this expected behaviour?
More importantly my colleague can connect to the database as the sde user via a client side GUI by entering any value in the password dialogue box.
Doing the following didn’t help:
testdb=# alter role sde WITH PASSWORD 'passwd';
ALTER ROLE
testdb=# alter role sde valid until 'infinity';
ALTER ROLE
How can I setup the passwd for the sde role?
Many thanks
