pg_dump Error in Windows

From

Date:

Hello All,

When I am trying to take backup using pg_dump.exe , it’s asking for password, when I provide the default password of “postgres” it never accepts and throws below error-

pg_dump: [archiver (db)] connection to database "test_database" failed: FATAL: Ident authentication failed for user "testusr"

Is there any changes I need to do in pg_hba.conf file?

Please suggest a solution.

Thanks

Soumik

Hi Soumik,

Does your "testuser" have super user privilege..? User must have super user privileges to perform pg_dumpall.

Are you trying to perform backup from remote server or local...?

Hi Shreeyansh,

In local and it’s a windows server, yes “testusr” is the local admin user and infact postgres is also installed using this “testusr”.

Hello all,

since the message is 'Ident authentication failed for user "testusr"', in pg_hba.conf the host/user/database combination must be configured to be identified by the ident protocol, which is very insecure.

Please change the entry to "md5" or whatever is appropriate. Or you set up an ident service on the client, which would help authenticating the testusr. Please bear in mind that it isn't secure.

Regards,

Holger

To perform any backup requires DB level superuser reset postgres db user password then try . Also make sure user entry in pg_hba.file if you are using authentication method to md5.

Below are the entries in pg_hba.conf file.

I tried re-setting the postgres db user password, but it did not helped.

Could you please let me know do I need to put the entries in this file for “testusr” and bounce the server back?

Try to reconfig your script and use localhost not hostname and it work well.

I had an issue with this too and I found out the port works only for local host not registered with hostname. SA tried to help me and still not work. Since it's development server, I just let it be with localhost.
