Could be that the hostname in pgpass.conf does not match the hostname in
the connection parameters.  The hostname in pgpass.conf is
case-sensitive (not mentioned in the docs), so it must match the exact
spelling as in the connection parameters.

Path #3 should be the correct one if user N28068 runs pg_dump.  You also
wrote that you want to schedule the execution of pg_dump.  Does the
scheduled job also run as that user?
