Trying to use postgresql as backend for airflow (v1.10.5) on centos7
machine (following this article:
https://www.ryanmerlin.com/2019/07/apache-airflow-installation-on-ubuntu-18-04-18-10/)
and seeing error

sqlalchemy.exc.OperationalError: (psycopg2.OperationalError) FATAL:  Ident
authentication failed for user "airflow"

My settings on the machine are...

[airflow@airflowetl airflow]$ psql airflow
psql (9.2.24)
Type "help" for help.

sql_alchemy_conn =

and not quite sure what could be going wrong here. Using the password from
the sql_alchemy_conn string, I am able to do "psql -U airflow --password"
and login successfully, so not sure what the auth faiure is for.

Anyone have any further  debugging suggestions or can see the error here?
