Hi,
We will try the .pgpass file at the user’s home directory, using *.* for port as suggested by Scott Mead. This way I don’t have to worry about setting the PGPASSWORD env var for the user.
I still need to create a role for the user, correct? It needs admin to be able to rung pg_dumpall.
Thanks everyone.

Here’s what the automated discovery is using:
/usr/pgsql-9.3/bin/pg_dumpall" -U bmcap01 -s -x
And it got this error:
pg_dumpall: could not connect to database "template1": could not connect to server: No such file or directory
Then, I retried the pg_dumpall with the –p (for port#) and it prompted for the password.
Thanks.
