I want to connect to my local installation of PostgreSQL 9.1 using my machine user (who is vagrant). So, after reading PostgreSQL documentation, I thought I just needed to:
1. Add username map in pg_ident.conf:
# MAPNAME SYSTEM-USERNAME PG-USERNAME
vp vagrant postgres
2. Using the map in pg_hba.conf
# TYPE DATABASE USER ADDRESS METHOD
local all all peer map=vp
But I'm getting the error
sql: FATAL: Peer authentication failed for user "vagrant"
If I try to connect to my server using psql.
I guess I'm misunderstanding the PostgreSQL manual. But, how could I get what I need? (locally connect with the user vagrant like if it was the postgres user)
Many thanks in advance (and sorry for the cross-posting. I asked this in serverfault too, but I think this is the right place)
