I've got some additional info about the problem.
After several times trying to connect to the remote database, I tried to
connect to the local database with dblink. I edit the .pgpass file like this:
127.0.0.1:5432:*:postgres:password
192.168.1.40:5432:*:myusername:mypassword
Then I tried to connect from local sql server:
postgres=# select dblink_connect_u('con1','hostaddr=127.0.0.1 port=5432
dbname=postgres user=postgres');
I get the same error like before. But when I edit the .pgpass and change
127.0.0.1 to 'localhost', it works even if I try it with the exactly same
connection string in dblink(hostaddr=127.0.0.1). I don't know what is going on
in the background, maybe some IP address<->hostname problem?

Tárgy:[GENERAL] dblink authentication failed

Hello,
I have some problem with using dblink_connect_u() in my function.
When I provide the password in the connection string, there is no problem, but
when I don’t, it says:
ERROR: could not establish connection
DETAIL: fe_sendauth: no password supplied
However the .pgpass file in the path /var/lib/postgres/.pgpass does contain the
proper password.
I have tried to connect to the remote server with psql from bash with the
following command:
# psql –h 192.168.1.40 –U myuser –w remote_db_name
it works fine.
My .pgpass file does have the line:
192.168.1.40:5432:*:myuser:mypassword
It seems the psql finds the proper password in the .pgpass file but dblink
doesn’t.
The local and the remote server are running on Ubuntu server 14.04, both of
them are PostgreSQL 9.4.
The .pgpass file properties look this:
# ls –la ./.pgpass
-rw------- 1 postgres postgres 193 jún 24 13:54 ./.pgpass
Any ideas are welcome.
Regards,
Attila
