    I've got an authentication questions.  I've just setup pg_hba.conf to use "local    all    all    trust" for testing purposes, but when the application I'm using tries to connect to the PostgreSQL Db (Using PHP) I get the following error.
 
" Warning: pg_connect(): Unable to connect to PostgreSQL server: FATAL: IDENT authentication failed for user "webuser" . in /var/www/html/issue-tracker/includes/classes/dbi.class.php on line 98 "
 
To me, it looks like PostgreSQL is still trying to authenticate, even though it should be trusting all local socket connections.  BTW, the web server and PostgreSQL server are on the same machine, so it's a local connection, not host.  Do I need to modify anything in pg_ident.conf?  I'd appreciate any help you can offer.  Thx.
