Hi, I have created a role using below sql, then I disconnected & try to login into postgres db with newly created user "test_role", It prompt for password and I pressed Enter key because I did not provided any password when I created role so it throw me an error as below *Error: fe_sendauth: no password supplied.*
Can someone please explain this behaviour of postgreSQL database, where I'm not allowed to login without password even if I do not have password set for "test_role" user? The work around is I had to manually edit pg_hba conf and change authentication method to trust for this user so that i can login without password. And If that's how postgreSQL authentication works, then can we add a mechanism to disallow user to create role without password if running with md5 authentication mode? *SQL Query used to create role:* CREATE USER test_role WITH LOGIN SUPERUSER CREATEDB CREATEROLE INHERIT REPLICATION CONNECTION LIMIT -1; -- Regards, Murtuza Zabuawala EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company
