Thank you Devrim!

The "man 5 pgbouncer" is slightly outdated then,
it doesn't explain the auth_file format in detail:

       auth_file
           The name of the file to load user names and passwords from. The file format is the same as the PostgreSQL
           pg_auth/pg_pwd file, so this setting can be pointed directly to one of those backend files.

What is the 3rd column of the file used for?
(the 1st being username and 
the 2nd being md5 hashed password)

Regards
Alex

It was removed about 4 years before. You can use mkauth.py to generate
the auth file. Here is a blog post about how to do it:
