I've been trying to use PostgreSQL with the Enhydra Java Servlet-based applications server. The system throws an SQL Exception stating: java.sql.SQLException: User authentication failed at postgresql.Connection.(Connection.java:229) at postgresql.Driver.connect(Driver.java:87) at java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(DriverManager.java:83) at java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(DriverManager.java:126) at com.lutris.appserver.server.sql.standard.StandardDBConnection.(StandardDBConnection.java:150) ... and so on The connect URL, user ID and password I put in the Enhydra config file have all worked fine in other contexts, so I suspect that Enhydra is substituting something in the connection process. It's brought up a sore spot. I'd like a nice tidy little log of connections and their sources, both successful and failed, like the /var/log/secure file in Linux or the Samba logs. The last time I had this much of a problem, I ended up patching the PostgreSQL authenticator to make it rat on the offender. Presently I'm running an RPM version, which has further muddied the waters, as I tried creating a pg_options file and discovered that the "data" directory doesn't exist (I used /var/lib/pgsql as the most likely alternative, but nothing obvious happened). I also started the postmaster with the -d flag, but while it gets verbose about connections via psql, jdbc attempts only display "User authentication failed" Query: Is there a feature I'm missing out on, or is an authentication logging facility something that I can contribute?
