Re: strange behavior of pg_hba.conf file

The entries that I changed were to replace the md5 with scram-sha-256 and remove unnecessary remote IPs.

But it has nothing to do with connecting the server locally with "psql -d postgres -U postgres -h localhost"

But when I try to connect it locally I get this error. So it is related to local connections only and when I pass the hostname or ip of the server it works fine without any issue.

The entry of pg_hba.conf is like below:

# TYPE  DATABASE        USER            ADDRESS                 METHOD

 

# "local" is for Unix domain socket connections only

local   all           all                                          scram-sha-256

# IPv4 local connections:

host    all           postgres     127.0.0.1/32               scram-sha-256

What I am missing here, please suggest.

 

A definition for host "::1", user "postgres", database "postgres".  It's right there in the error message.
