Thanks for the response. I was able to get postgres user to connect to the remote database by using the 'alter user' command from within psql. However, I am unable to connect to the same server with a different user. I created a generic user called pgAdmin and used the command:
grant all privileges on database clients to user pgAdmin I am certain I know that users password yet I cannot connect with it from my workstation. Do you think the pgpass file will help in this instance? ________________________________ From: Jan-Peter Seifert <[email protected]> To: Newbie Poster <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, March 27, 2009 4:14:05 PM Subject: Re: [ADMIN] Logging in with postgres remotely Newbie Poster wrote: > Error connecting to the server: FATAL: password authentication failed > for user "postgres" Sounds like a hunt for the pgpass file is recommended: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/interactive/libpq-pgpass.html Peter
