Hi all, I have a problem that I am chasing and getting nowhere with. Can anyone help? I have postgresql-7.2.1-5 running as the server on a redhat7.3 box. I am connecting from a redhat8.0 box with postgresql-7.2.2-1 using both psql and pgaccess. My pg_hba.conf looks like this:
local all ident sameuser host testuserdb 192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0 ident sameuser host testdb 192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0 password
Now the scenenario is like this:
User test can connect to database testdb with a password. User testuser cannot connect to database testuserdb and gets these errors psql -h workbench -d testuserdb -U testuser psql: FATAL 1: IDENT authentication failed for user "testuser"
on the server I made (as postgres) the users test and testuser, then became each user and created the testdb and testuserdb.
I have tried making a usermap in pg_ident.conf
testuser testuser testuser
and tried the line
host testuserdb 192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0 ident testuser
But still no change. Testuser can connect if AUTH_TYPE is trust however.
Can anyone lend a pinch of advice that may be the problem here? many thanks Stephen.
