Hello,
I am confused with the users configuration:
I have created a user called webstar; granted it all on one database
(called webstar).
I want the user webstar to provide a password
so I have the following pg_hba.conf
# "local" is for Unix domain socket connections only
local all webstar md5
local all all ident sameuser
# IPv4 local connections:
host all all 127.0.0.1/32 ident sameuser
# IPv6 local connections:
host all all ::1/128 ident sameuser
this work fine from the command line where i can use pgsql with
pgsql -U webstar -W
I am prompted for a password and I can connect.
Now when I try to connect from php I get
pg_connect(): Unable to connect to PostgreSQL server: FATAL: Ident
authentication failed for user "webstar"
it clearly says that the user webstar is trying for an ident
connection, not a password one. and I do not understand why.
can you enlighten me ?
thanks in advance
Didier
