Re: Issue with configuration parameter "require_auth"

I think Tom is right.

I am using v5.6 of https://github.com/jackc/pgx

I quick read of the code reveals no awareness of require_auth, so I have filed an issue with the project.

Hm, that looks right (and behaves as-expected here).

What version of what client-side stack are you using? For me, libpq 16
and up recognize this parameter, while older versions fail with

psql: error: invalid URI query parameter: "require_auth"

If you're using some other client driver, maybe it doesn't know this
parameter and guesses that it should be passed to the server.
