Re: [INTERFACES] odbc failed authentication message

Please refer to the check list cantained in the FAQ at the psqlodbc web site.

I see two issues.

Postmaster must start withe -i option.
man postmaster

It looks as though you only allow localhost access in pg_hba.conf. You
will need to open up to some remote host(s)
man pg_hba.conf

example of wide open with password required:

host all 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 password

example of class C wide open

host all 200.100.5.0 255.255.255.0 trust
