Thread: psql: FATAL: Ident authentication failed for user "jira"

Hello all !

I try to start JIRA with PostgreSQL 8.2.5 and have an error - psql: FATAL: Ident authentication failed for user "jira" when i check JIRA log files. Then i try command psql -U jira -d jiradb -h localhost and i got the same error !

Pleasee see my pg_hba.conf

# "local" is for Unix domain socket connections only
local all all password
# IPv4 local connections:
host all all 0.0.0.0/0 trust
host all all 127.0.0.1/32 trust
# IPv6 local connections:
host all all ::1/128 trust

Please help me with my novice problem!

Thanks in advance !

Well, that error message is entirely impossible given that pg_hba.conf,
because you don't have ident auth selected anywhere.  So I conclude that
either (1) you're looking at the wrong pg_hba.conf file, or (2) you
changed the file but forgot to SIGHUP the postmaster (pg_ctl reload)
afterwards.

BTW, your pg_hba.conf seems a bit silly --- why try to enforce passwords
on Unix-socket connections when the door is wide open on local TCP
connections?  Also, do you realize that "0.0.0.0/0 trust" is in fact
allowing trust access to the entire IPv4 Internet?

Hello Tom!

Thanks for the answer. I solve my problem already. My mistake is a wrong permissions in Unix system. Someone change owner from postgres to jira. Now all work fine.

I want to execute a query such as:

select abstime(1196474400) - abstime(1167616800);

but specify the result in total minutes, total days (rounding off hours,
minutes seconds).

I'm sure this is easy but I couldn't find it. What is the proper way to
do this in PostgreSQL?
