Hi Markus,

This problem can be solved by using .pgpass to specify passwords.  Sequoia uses 
pg_dump and pg_restore to transfer data, which in turn trigger password prompts 
within the controller process.  Here's how I usually set things up for 
PostgreSQL:

1.) Create a PostgreSQL login on PG that matches your vdb admin login and 
password.  I usually cheat and make the login a superuser.

2.) Set non-local logins to md5 in pg_hba.conf.  This will force PG to ask for 
passwords, which is good.

3.) Define .pgpass in your home directory and add PostgreSQL logins there.  
Make sure the file is chmod'ed to 700 or PG clients will ignore the .pgpass 
settings.

To test your work, try 'psql -Umylogin -hmyhost dbname' and ensure it can login 
directly without a prompt.
Now try backup and restore commands.  They should work without triggering the 
prompt problem within the controller.

Cheers, Robert

Hi there,

I try to use any of the postgres backuper, but all are failing, since
thy try to do dropdb, createdb which require a password on the
commandline even if I enable a trust user in the pg_hba.conf.
The password is requested in the terminal where the controller was
started. This is even more worse if the terminal was closed and the
controller process moved to the background.

Is there any solutions for this? I already tried to set the option
useAuthentication.

Also to mention we are using sequoia-2.10.10.

Thank you very much
Markus Wolf
