I thought maybe the pg_ident.conf file was enough to simply say
"connections from www-data should be considered as coming from user
moseley" and then sameuser would work (i.e. www-data would be able to
connect to moseley's databases).
BTW -- when using a map like this that uses the ident service, what dsn
string is used when connecting? (I'm using Perl, BTW.)

You mean adding a "local" entry too?
host all all 127.0.0.1 255.255.255.255 ident testmap
local all all ident testmap
bumby:/etc/postgresql$ psql newdb
psql: FATAL: user "www-data" does not exist
bumby:/etc/postgresql$ psql -Umoseley newdb
psql: FATAL: IDENT authentication failed for user "moseley"
bumby:/etc/postgresql$ psql -Uwww-data newdb
psql: FATAL: user "www-data" does not exist
This is why I ended up creating a new database user with a password and then
granting access to ALL of my objects to the new database user. And then
using that username/password in the connect string in the web
application.
Can I turn on debugging in Postgresql to see why it's failing? That
would likely help resolve the problem.
