Thread: PSQLException: FATAL: password authentication failed for user "XXX"
Hi, I have experienced authentication problems after applying a security patch(147440-09) to Solaris 10. PostgreSQL 9.2.1 JDBC: 9.2 1002 I got the following exception during startup of my application: Caused by: org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: FATAL: password authentication failed for user "XXX" at org.postgresql.core.v3.ConnectionFactoryImpl.doAuthentication(ConnectionFactoryImpl.java:398) at org.postgresql.core.v3.ConnectionFactoryImpl.openConnectionImpl(ConnectionFactoryImpl.java:173) at org.postgresql.core.ConnectionFactory.openConnection(ConnectionFactory.java:64) at org.postgresql.jdbc2.AbstractJdbc2Connection.<init>(AbstractJdbc2Connection.java:136) at org.postgresql.jdbc3.AbstractJdbc3Connection.<init>(AbstractJdbc3Connection.java:29) at org.postgresql.jdbc3g.AbstractJdbc3gConnection.<init>(AbstractJdbc3gConnection.java:21) at org.postgresql.jdbc4.AbstractJdbc4Connection.<init>(AbstractJdbc4Connection.java:31) at org.postgresql.jdbc4.Jdbc4Connection.<init>(Jdbc4Connection.java:24) at org.postgresql.Driver.makeConnection(Driver.java:393) at org.postgresql.Driver.connect(Driver.java:267) at com.mchange.v2.c3p0.DriverManagerDataSource.getConnection(DriverManagerDataSource.java:134) at com.mchange.v2.c3p0.WrapperConnectionPoolDataSource.getPooledConnection(WrapperConnectionPoolDataSource.java:183) at com.mchange.v2.c3p0.WrapperConnectionPoolDataSource.getPooledConnection(WrapperConnectionPoolDataSource.java:172) at com.mchange.v2.c3p0.impl.C3P0PooledConnectionPoolManager.ensureFirstConnectionAcquisition(C3P0PooledConnectionPoolManager.java:959) at com.mchange.v2.c3p0.impl.C3P0PooledConnectionPoolManager.createPooledConnectionPool(C3P0PooledConnectionPoolManager.java:846) at com.mchange.v2.c3p0.impl.C3P0PooledConnectionPoolManager.getPool(C3P0PooledConnectionPoolManager.java:319) at com.mchange.v2.c3p0.impl.C3P0PooledConnectionPoolManager.getPool(C3P0PooledConnectionPoolManager.java:311) at com.mchange.v2.c3p0.impl.AbstractPoolBackedDataSource.getConnection(AbstractPoolBackedDataSource.java:134) at org.eclipse.persistence.sessions.JNDIConnector.connect(JNDIConnector.java:132) ... 18 more However I can login via psql My pg_hba.conf file # TYPE DATABASE USER ADDRESS METHOD local all all md5 # IPv4 local connections: host all all 127.0.0.1/32 md5 # IPv6 local connections: host all all ::1/128 md5 # Allow replication connections from localhost, by a user with the # replication privilege. host replication XXX 127.0.0.1/32 md5 host replication XXX ::1/128 md5 Does anyone know how to fix it ? PS. I must say that uninstalling the security patch is not an option for me :) Regards, Paweł -- View this message in context: http://postgresql.1045698.n5.nabble.com/PSQLException-FATAL-password-authentication-failed-for-user-XXX-tp5753396.html Sent from the PostgreSQL - jdbc mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Also, if the problem isn't immediately obvious from the log entry, try turning on log_connections to verify that the JDBC app is connecting with the database+username and from the IP address that you're expecting. regards, tom lane
SOLVED. This problem seems to be connected with my JPA provider (EclipseLink) rather than JDBC driver. Upgrade to JDK 1.7u21 fixes the problem.
