The following bug has been logged online:
Bug reference: 4572
Logged by: Tommy Gildseth
Email address: tommy(dot)gildseth(at)usit(dot)uio(dot)no
PostgreSQL version: 8.3.x,8.2.x
Operating system: Linux
Description: Incorrect error message when using wrong password with
hostssl
Details:
When logging into postgresql requiring SSL, providing the wrong password
will produce an incorrect and confusing error message.
========== pg_hba.conf ===============
hostssl all postgres 192.168.123.234 255.255.255.255 md5
======================================
========== Logging in: ===============
[postgres(at)anothermachine ~]$ psql -W -h pgtest02
Password: <type in bogus password>
psql: FATAL: no pg_hba.conf entry for host "192.168.123.234", user
"postgres", database "postgres", SSL off
======================================
The error message returned here is clearly bogus. It's correct in that there
is no pg_hba.conf entry for that user/host, with SSL off, but imo. it should
have returned the more usefull error message:
======================================
psql -W -h pgtest02
Password: <type in bogus password>
psql: FATAL: password authentication failed for user "postgres"
======================================
