The following bug has been logged online: Bug reference: 4572 Logged by: Tommy Gildseth Email address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] PostgreSQL version: 8.3.x,8.2.x Operating system: Linux Description: Incorrect error message when using wrong password with hostssl Details:
When logging into postgresql requiring SSL, providing the wrong password will produce an incorrect and confusing error message. ========== pg_hba.conf =============== hostssl all postgres 192.168.123.234 255.255.255.255 md5 ====================================== ========== Logging in: =============== [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ psql -W -h pgtest02 Password: <type in bogus password> psql: FATAL: no pg_hba.conf entry for host "192.168.123.234", user "postgres", database "postgres", SSL off ====================================== The error message returned here is clearly bogus. It's correct in that there is no pg_hba.conf entry for that user/host, with SSL off, but imo. it should have returned the more usefull error message: ====================================== psql -W -h pgtest02 Password: <type in bogus password> psql: FATAL: password authentication failed for user "postgres" ====================================== -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs
