Thread: pg_dump Error in Windows
Hello All,
When I am trying to take backup using pg_dump.exe , it’s asking for password, when I provide the default password of “postgres” it never accepts and throws below error-
pg_dump: [archiver (db)] connection to database "test_database" failed: FATAL: Ident authentication failed for user "testusr"
Is there any changes I need to do in pg_hba.conf file?
Please suggest a solution.
Thanks
Soumik
Same error with pg_dumpall it does not accept the postgres default password
C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.6\bin>pg_dumpall > postgres
Password:
pg_dumpall: could not connect to database "template1": FATAL: password authentication failed for user " testusr"

Hi Shreeyansh,
In local and it’s a windows server, yes “testusr” is the local admin user and infact postgres is also installed using this “testusr”.

Hi Soumik,
Does your "testuser" have super user privilege..? User must have super user privileges to perform pg_dumpall.
Are you trying to perform backup from remote server or local...?

Hello all,
since the message is 'Ident authentication failed for user "testusr"', in pg_hba.conf the host/user/database combination must be configured to be identified by the ident protocol, which is very insecure.
Please change the entry to "md5" or whatever is appropriate. Or you set up an ident service on the client, which would help authenticating the testusr. Please bear in mind that it isn't secure.

Holger

Below are the entries in pg_hba.conf file.
I tried re-setting the postgres db user password, but it did not helped.
Could you please let me know do I need to put the entries in this file for “testusr” and bounce the server back?
Thanks..

To perform any backup requires DB level superuser reset postgres db user password then try . Also make sure user entry in pg_hba.file if you are using authentication method to md5.
