Thread: pg_hba.conf ---> problem??
I use Debian. In one example (with user postgres) i obtain success: sh-3.00$ psql -l Listado de base de datos Nombre | Dueño | Codificación -----------+----------+-------------- mydb | postgres | SQL_ASCII template0 | postgres | SQL_ASCII template1 | postgres | SQL_ASCII test | postgres | SQL_ASCII (4 filas) The problem appears when i use tora or pgaccess, i can't connect to db. The message is: Unable to connect to the database. FATAL: IDENT authentication failed for user "portgres" Who/where is the possible problem? I try: user: postgres pass: "mypass" port: 5432 localhost db: mydb Any answer?
I will never use postgres since it maybe a keyword. :-) Yi On Thu, 23 Sep 2004, Victor Sanchez2 wrote: > I use Debian.

No, I think this isn't the problem. :) I'm reading about pg_hba.conf and postgres.conf and is possible that the problem is about it and this configure.

Why? I connect with 'psql mydb' without problems (with user postgres) and password is correct when i login with postgres. Also, i can use createdb, dropdb... without problems. When i try to connect with tora i receive this message.

I would not use IDENT authentication (specified in pg_hba.conf) under any circumstances I can think of. Either use TRUST or use MD5, I always use MD5 once the DBA accounts are established and passworded.
