Hm, that looks right (and behaves as-expected here).

What version of what client-side stack are you using?  For me, libpq 16
and up recognize this parameter, while older versions fail with

psql: error: invalid URI query parameter: "require_auth"

If you're using some other client driver, maybe it doesn't know this
parameter and guesses that it should be passed to the server.
