I am developinng an appliction usig Postgresql 11, installed on a UBUTU
18.14 machine.
I ahve vreated a new database to do some testing on restricting access of
specific users/roles to certain data. I have done the following:
REVOKE ALL ON DATABASE pertest FROM employee;
GRANT CONNECT ON DATABASE pertest TO employee;
and I have verifed tht the user employee does exst, I have also doen a few
more GRABTs to allow specific acces. But I cannot conect, or swith to user
employee:
stan@smokey:/etc/postgresql/11/main$ psql -U employee
psql: FATAL: Peer authentication failed for user "employee"
stan=> \l
List of databases
Name | Owner | Encoding | Collate | Ctype | Access privileges
--------+----------+----------+---------+---------+-----------------------
pertest | stan | UTF8 | C.UTF-8
| C.UTF-8 | =Tc/stan
+
| | stan=CTc/stan
employee=CTc/stan
Sorrry cut and paste mangled that.
What am I failing to do here?
