The problem still did not resolve:( It happened again this morning.

No changes for the script and postgresql configuration. But when I
re-run the script, it succeeded.

The "Ident authentication" failure happened when "pg_dump" data to one
directory.

If it is not because of pg configuration, what other possible reasons
could cause this exception message???
