PostgreSQL: MD5 Authentication in pg_hba.conf gives me FATAL: Peer authentication failed for user "postgres" -
i'm running ubuntu 14.04 , installed postgresql 9.3. edited /etc/postgresql/9.3/main/pg_hba.conf as:
# "local" unix domain socket connections local md5 # ipv4 local connections: host 127.0.0.1/32 md5 # ipv6 local connections: host ::1/128 md5
i restarted server , i'd login postgres postgres:
victor@workstation:~$ psql -u postgres psql: fatal: peer authentication failed user "postgres"
shouldn't postgres prompt password, i've set authentication method md5 ?
i understand if add -h localhost work.
does not adding flag causes psql use peer-authentication?
you must have local ... peer
line above those. error peer authentication failed
comes server, , it's server tha picks auth method.
other possibilities be:
- didn't restart server
- edited wrong
pg_hba.conf
file if there multiple postgresql instances on system.
