Hi Russ- > The first line in my pg_hba.conf file is: > > local all trust
I don't think this line authorizes TCP/IP socket connections, but rather, only Unix sockets. Since JDBC uses TCP/IP even if you are on the same machine, you'll need a similar auth record starting with "host" for 127.0.0.1 (locahost) like the one below, or using trust as the method if you prefer. > host all 127.0.0.1 255.0.0.0 ident sameuser check out this page for a better explanation: http://www.postgresql.org/idocs/index.php?client-authentication.html#PG-HBA.
