Re: [GENERAL] createdb.exe prompting for password on Vista
Setting the authentication option to trust seems to work but now I'm worried my application won't need a password for users accessing the database. It is a client-server application so I don't know which IP addresses can/can't use it and I'm not relying my application to be on a windows domain/active directory. I'm thinking the best way to get around it is change the auth option to trust in my installer, create the database, and then automatically set the auth option back to md5. Not the most elegant solution but it will work for now. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Andrew Sullivan Sent: 28 May 2007 07:46 PM To: pgsql-general@postgresql.org Subject: Re: [GENERAL] createdb.exe prompting for password on Vista On Mon, May 28, 2007 at 07:18:47PM +0200, Greg Quinn wrote: And how would I enable this?

You could perhaps set up a .pgpass just for you at the beginning as well; but in general, yes, if you have to rely on someone else managing the permissions to the back end, then you also have to be able to cope with the authentication mechanisms.

[GENERAL] createdb.exe prompting for password on Vista
I am using createdb to automatically create a database from a .sql file, but in Vista it seems to prompt me for the postgres password. How can I stop this from happening? I'm not using the -W or -password option so why does it ask me for a password? Here is my command... createdb.exe -U postgres myDb Thanks
