Thread: authentication fail

Hi there,

I am using postgresql 12 on Linux opensuse Leap 15.2.
In 'former times' with my postgresql-db I used pgadmin3. It was nice and
tiny, and I was happy.
Now, with pgadmin4 I am not able to connect to my server. There is no
problem with pgsql nor with knoda even from another computer but with
pgadmin4 I always get an authentication error. In pg_hba.conf I changed
all connections to 'trust' - but no way!
Is there a verbose-mode for pgadmin4 in order to see what is happening?

Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Michael

By the way: Is there a way to get rid of this annoying nag screen
telling me every time I start pgadmin that there is a new version? My
version came with the distro

Thanks for the hints and sorry for the delay. Here is what I did after
having deleted everything related to pgadmin in my user directory:
First I created the file config_local.py following the advice at
https://www.pgadmin.org/faq/#8
Then I started pgAdmin4 on a console. During the start I get this message:
--- snip ---
Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 keyPython path:
"/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages:/usr/lib64/python3.6/site-packages"
Python Home:  ""
Webapp path:  "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pgadmin4-web/pgAdmin4.py"
NOTE: Configuring authentication for DESKTOP mode.
pgAdmin 4 - Application Initialisation
======================================

 * Serving Flask app "pgadmin" (lazy loading)
 * Environment: production
   WARNING: Do not use the development server in a production environment.
   Use a production WSGI server instead.
 * Debug mode: off
Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 keyInvalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 keyInvalid
MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key
--- snip ---
(don't know if this is ok...)

The browser window with pgAdmin4 opened. In order to see what happened
please revise the attached pdf. As you will see, my trial ended up with
... nothing.

Looking through the pgAdmin4.startup.log (attached) I didn't find
nothing special - this seems ok but I must confess that don't know how
to interprete the messages in pgadmin4.log (attached) and if there is
any hint in order to see what went wrong.

I would appreciate any help in order to get pgAdmin4 working.

Best regards,
Michael

P.S.: The authentication configuring in pg_hba.conf:

# "local" is for Unix domain socket connections only
local   all   all                                     trust
# IPv4 local connections:
host    all   all             127.0.0.1/32            md5
host    all   username        xxx.xxx.xx.0/24         trust

(the last line I introduced so that my normal user can access the
database remotely from different machines in my local network.)

Seems that I must be VERY patient. I am working with opensuse Leap 15.2.
The version of paAdmin4 which comes with the distro is this version
(4.1).  Even the rolling release distro (Tumbleweed) only offers the
version 4.29.
At:
https://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/pgadmin/pgadmin4
I found the rpm-Package für Red Hat and Fedora. Do you have any
information if this works on opensuse too?


Thanks in advance,
Michael

Thanks for the hints. I would like to try with the docker container.
Therefore I installed docker and started docker daemon.
Perhaps I am too simple-hearted: I than copied the command indicated at
the web site: docker pull dpage/pgadmin4
I got the message 'Got permission denied while trying to connect to the
Docker daemon socket at unix:///var/run/docker.sock: Post
"http://%2Fvar%2Frun%2Fdocker.sock/v1.40/images/create?fromImage=dpage%2Fpgadmin4&tag=latest":
dial unix /var/run/docker.sock: connect: permission denied'
Do I have to register or do something else?

Thx in advance,
Michael
