I think the solution is: 1- create a passwd file for this database (test_db_passwd, for example), with pg_passwd test_db_passwd, and put here with pg_passwd the user's needed. 2- put this in your pg_hba.conf: # TYPE DATABASE IP_ADDRESS MASK AUTHTYPE MAP local test_db password test_db_passwd test_db_map I'm very "newbie" in postgresql, but I think this can solve your problem.
