Re: pg_dump Error in Windows

Hi Shreeyansh,

 

In local and it’s a windows server, yes “testusr” is the local admin user and infact postgres is also installed using this “testusr”.

 

Thanks

Soumik

Hi Soumik,

 

Does your "testuser" have super user privilege..? User must have super user privileges to perform pg_dumpall.

 

Are you trying to perform backup from remote server or local...?

Hello All,

 

When I am trying to take backup using pg_dump.exe , it’s asking for password, when I provide the default password of “postgres” it never accepts and throws below error-

 

pg_dump: [archiver (db)] connection to database "test_database" failed: FATAL:  Ident authentication failed for user "testusr"

 

Is there any changes I need to do in pg_hba.conf file?

 

Please suggest a solution.

 

Thanks

Soumik
