Re: php password authentication failed for user ... - Mailing list pgsql-general

Hello Adrian,

Yes I use the correct cluster.

password authentication failed for user "testuser" ...
is a line from the postgres log

Yes I know what "trust" mean.

psql in version 9.3 can connect without error,
psql in version 9.1 connect to server 9.3 get the same error as above.

I have done the setup.
And I don't use ADO for this test.

I have also test

Postgres 9.1 and Postgres 9.4 both work with auth-method md5, except
postgres 9.3 discuss there.

It takes a round 5 hours to find this "error".
If anybody has the same problem be warned.

Regards,
basti
