Re: error message "psql: expected authentication request from server, but received " when using psql to connect remote database

Tom Lane,

Thanks for your response,
Actually, we don't directly use postgre server,we open TCP connection to
support postgre wire protocol, so psql client can connect to our
application,
I found the problem is in the StartupMessage, when psql client version
is 8.1.4, the major and minor version in StartupMessage is 1234 and
5679, not 3 and 0, that is the problem, I want to know whether it is the
bug of 8.1.4, or I can do some configuration?

Thanks again for your answer

Thanks,
Justin

What is in the server's pg_hba.conf file? I'm particularly wondering
what auth method is being selected ...
