Re: Autentication exceptions in pgsql 8.3

Hello,

How can I check that? Should I do any configurations in ident server?

Thanks and Regards,

Deepthi

Hello,

I am using Postgresql 8.3, I am getting the below authentication
exceptions. I am not able to connect using
postgres://mpp:mpp(at)localhost/mpp

LOG: provided username (mpp) and authenticated username
([U2FsdGVkX1/4XrEZ3dfREbh66kqWj66oEZjvotlVtqo=]) don't match

FATAL: Ident authentication failed for user "mpp"

LOG: provided username (mpp) and authenticated username

This indicate that your auth server returned userid
"[U2FsdGVkX19aYlj8eW0BPmAZ4Loziuy64Urcd4ZhMOg=]", which is obviously
incorrect. Are you by any chance running with some sort of
encryption/hashing in the ident server? That's not supported with
PostgreSQL.

If not that, then I'm not sure exactly what it could be - but it's
obvious that your ident server is reporting an incorrect username, so
you'll need to investigate that one.
