- Authentication failures and related problems generally
- manifest themselves through error messages like the following:
- </p><p>
- </p><pre class="programlisting">
- FATAL: no pg_hba.conf entry for host "123.123.123.123", user "andym", database "testdb"
- </pre><p>
- This is what you are most likely to get if you succeed in contacting
- the server, but it does not want to talk to you. As the message
- suggests, the server refused the connection request because it found
- no matching entry in its <code class="filename">pg_hba.conf</code>
- configuration file.
- </p><p>
- </p><pre class="programlisting">
- FATAL: password authentication failed for user "andym"
- </pre><p>
- Messages like this indicate that you contacted the server, and it is
- willing to talk to you, but not until you pass the authorization
- method specified in the <code class="filename">pg_hba.conf</code> file. Check
- the password you are providing, or check your Kerberos or ident
- software if the complaint mentions one of those authentication
- types.
- </p><p>
- </p><pre class="programlisting">
- FATAL: user "andym" does not exist
- </pre><p>
- The indicated database user name was not found.
- </p><p>
- </p><pre class="programlisting">
- FATAL: database "testdb" does not exist
- </pre><p>
- The database you are trying to connect to does not exist. Note that
- if you do not specify a database name, it defaults to the database
- user name, which might or might not be the right thing.
- </p><div class="tip"><h3 class="title">Tip</h3><p>
- The server log might contain more information about an
- authentication failure than is reported to the client. If you are
- confused about the reason for a failure, check the server log.
