To fix this error open PostgreSQL client authentication configuration file :…\PostgreSQL\data\pg_hba.conf
This file controls:
- Which hosts are allowed to connect
- How clients are authenticated
- Which PostgreSQL user names they can use
- Which databases they can access
By default Postgresql uses IDENT-based authentication. All you have to do is allow username and password based authentication for your network or webserver. IDENT will never allow you to login via -U and -W options. Append following to allow login via localhost only:
local all all trust host all 127.0.0.1/32 trust
Save and close the file. Restart Postgresql server:
Enjoy…
