I think it uses ~/.pgpass, though psql would too, so maybe there's something pgadmin-specific involved. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
Re: [GENERAL] probable pg_hba.conf configuration issues
My bet is you have either another line in the pg_hba that says trust or you saved the password and forgot.

You likely told pgadmin to remember (store) passwords. If you select “Store password”, pgAdmin stores passwords you enter in the ~/.pgpass file under Unix or :file:%APPDATA%postgresqlpgpass.conf under Win32 for later reuse. For details, see pgpass documentation. It will be used for all libpq based tools. If you want the password removed, you can select the server’s properties and uncheck the selection any time. http://www.pgadmin.org/docs/1.18/connect.html -- View this message in context: http://postgresql.1045698.n5.nabble.com/probable-pg-hba-conf-configuration-issues-tp5802949p5802954.html Sent from the PostgreSQL - general mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
Re: [GENERAL] probable pg_hba.conf configuration issues
Thanks Sim, Tom David, i'm really amazed with quick answers and insight provided by you all. I found and was a password cache issue under %APPDATA%\postgresql\pgpass.conf; I removed it and everything works as expected. Thank you again guys! Regards, Ravi.
