Since you aren't specifying a host (with -h), that command uses a Unix socket connection and only looks at lines in pg_hba.conf that begin with "local". (If you want to do the same in JDBC, make the hostname value blank.) > However, when I do a > psql -U brakesh -h 127.0.0.1 -d testing123 > > I get the followign error: > > psql: FATAL: no pg_hba.conf entry for host "127.0.0.1", user > "brakesh", database "testing123", SSL off What happens if you change "host" to "hostnossl" in pg_hba.conf? (Seeing that that error message specifies that SSL is off.) Please remember to SIGHUP or restart the postmaster after changing it.
