Hello All, It appears that the way pgAdmin parses pgpass differs from the format documented for libpq[1] with respect to escaping : and \ characters. I noticed the difference when version 1.14.2 ignored my (escaped) pgpass entry for ::1 which was as follows:
\:\:1:5432:*:username:password >From what I can tell from looking at the current git sources, this would occur from escapes in IPv6 addresses and usernames or passwords with escaped : or \. The IPv6 case is not too serious as psql will accept addresses without escapes as well (I haven't tested username/passwords). I just wanted to bring it to your attention. If you decide to change the behavior, you may want to note that libpq changed its unescaping behavior in 9.2 as a result of this[2] ML thread. 1. http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/libpq-pgpass.html 2. http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/20111217082754.gb30...@rice.edu -- Cheers, | ke...@kevinlocke.name | JIM: kevin...@jabber.org Kevin | http://kevinlocke.name | IRC: kevinoid on freenode -- Sent via pgadmin-support mailing list (pgadmin-support@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgadmin-support
