I have installed postgresql database on Fedora 17.
When I create a new server connection through pgadmin3, I get this Error in a popup window:
postgresql The server doesn't accept the current user: The server report
Ident authentication failed
The server doesn't accept the current user: The server reports
FATAL: Ident authentication failed for user "pgadmin"
If this message appears, the pg_hba.conf entry found for your
client / user / database combination is set to "ident" authentication.
Some distributions, e.g. Debian, have this by default. To perform ident
based authentication successfully, you need additional setup; see the
PostgreSQL help for this. For a beginner, it might be more appropriate
to use a different authentication method; MD5 encrypted passwords are
a good choice, which can be configured by an entry in pg_hba.conf like
this:
host all all 192.168.0.0/24 md5
This example grants MD5 encrypted password access to all databases to
all users on the private network 192.168.0.0/24.
You can use the pg_hba.conf editor that is built into pgAdmin III to
edit the pg_hba.conf configuration file. After changing pg_hba.conf,
you need to trigger a server configuration reload using pg_ctl or by
stopping and restarting the server process.
I have made the change mentioned in the error message, I added host all all 192.168.0.0/24 md5
to the pg_hba.conf. But I still get the same error. What am I doing wrong?
