I think the solution is:
1- create a passwd file for this database (test_db_passwd, for example), with pg_passwd test_db_passwd, and put here
withpg_passwd the user's needed.
2- put this in your pg_hba.conf:
# TYPE DATABASE IP_ADDRESS MASK AUTHTYPE MAP
local test_db password test_db_passwd test_db_map
I'm very "newbie" in postgresql, but I think this can solve your problem.
Sorry for my bad english, if you speak spanish, you can write to me directly.
