Ident authentication over local sockets

1 New Member
I have installed postgres on a unix server (Solaris 8) and trying to configure the system so that one login to the operating system can be used for multiple logins to postgres. I would also like to use md5 encyption for this if possible have tried editing the pg_hba.conf file to use an indent, and have added the indent to the pg_indent.conf file. I feel I must be doing some this wrong as I can’t get it to work. Please help....!!!!!

Hereis my code:
pg_hba.conf
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. local all all ident map1
pg_ident.conf
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. map1 user bob
error message
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. psql: FATAL:  Ident authentication failed for user "bob"

Is this good advice? IDENT Authentication failed for user "postgres" This error has everything to do with the way distros set up access rights for postgres. They are way too restrictive and leave you wondering what to do next. Do yourself a favour and change authentication type in pg_hba.conf to

I'm trying to to write an ident server, which yesterday worked fine, but today its not. When I run it and connect to port 113 and try and send data as soon as I press a button it dumps the connection, and wont let me send the whole request, ie (1 , 2).

Hi Not sure I can do what I'm trying to do without using a 3rd party component like Dart. I need to build a windows service to create a socket connection on an IBM mainframe using an IP and port combination. No problem there. However, due to the expected volume (at least 20x10K streams per second in each direction), the mainframe sysadmin has requested the service use multiple 'conversations' within the single IP connection.

The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
