I'm using a domain socket connection on my laptop. There is NO network.

I've been using JDBC drivers since Postgres 8.x. The pg_hba.conf file
has always been identical.

postgresql-9.4-1200.jdbc41.jar works fine on 9.4.
The issue is with 9.5.

So "local all all trust" according to the pg_hba.conf doco "translates"
to "localhost domain socket connection, any user, any database and
trust the person connecting" -- i.e. don't validate password.

The package org.postgresql.core.v3.ConnectionFactoryImpl doesn't
display enough information in its error message.
It should display the URL used, which has to be built using pg_hba.conf
plus user input.

This:-

con = DriverManager.getConnection(url, user, password);

is the usual way to connect.

I don't know if using port 5434 for 9.5 is an issue. I'm still using
9.4 and its port number is 5433. (Clutching at straws. Probable red
herring.)



Please let me know if there are any other tests that I can run.


Cheers,
Rob
