Re: Need to run pg_dump from the laptop without entering the password

Hi Erik,

1. After seeing your email, I have verified another time now. It is a RDS endpoint.

I see that host naming convention followed correct. Case sensitivity is not an issue.

1. Yes, N28068 is the user. At this time, I am running the script manually. My plan is to schedule the script thru a job and the owner is going to be N28068 .

Thanks,
Sarwar

Could be that the hostname in pgpass.conf does not match the hostname in
the connection parameters. The hostname in pgpass.conf is
case-sensitive (not mentioned in the docs), so it must match the exact
spelling as in the connection parameters.

Path #3 should be the correct one if user N28068 runs pg_dump. You also
wrote that you want to schedule the execution of pg_dump. Does the
scheduled job also run as that user?
