v8.0.3
OS: SuSE 10.0 Pro
I am new to PostgreSQL but fairly familiar with other RDBMS' such as
Ingres, Informix and MySQL.
I am attempting to switch from using MySQL to PostgreSQL with postfix. I
have created the postfix user using createuser with a password but denying
the ability to create databases or other users. However when I attempt to
login even using psql:
psql -W -U postfix
it prompts me for the password and I enter the one that user was created
with. The resulting error is:
psql: FATAL: Ident authentication failed for user 'postfix'
I know I must be missing something simple but I cannot find it in the docs
or FAQs. Please point me in the right direction.
Thank you,
Lucky
