RE: pg_dump Error in Windows

Below are the entries in pg_hba.conf file.

I tried re-setting the postgres db user password, but it did not helped.

Could you please let me know do I need to put the entries in this file for “testusr” and bounce the server back?

Thanks..

To perform any backup requires DB level superuser reset postgres db user password then try . Also make sure user entry in pg_hba.file if you are using authentication method to md5.

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

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
