Hello Marcin,

I was always curious about that.
Pgsql only supports one auth method for a given configuration.
Since Bacula Dir and Pgsql uses Peer by default, wouldn't it be easier, more user-friendly and safer if Baculum could be designed to run with the bacula Linux user?

Regards,

Hello Jasen,

This error comes from PostgreSQL, not from Baculum itself:

FATAL: Ident authentication failed for user "bacula"

It means that your ident authentication doesn't work for "bacula" user
and password. I propose you change authentication method for Baculum
connection to password authentication type ('md5' in this case). More
information about it you can find in pg_hba.conf file in your Catalog
database files and in PostgreSQL documentation here:

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/10/auth-methods.html

Best regards.

I just installed Bacula according to the doc, and Baculum as well. Baculs runs from the command line OK. Trying to configure baculum API and have run into a problem with the postgres DB. It says it cannot connect:





Error: 2, Message: Problem with connection to database. TDbConnection failed to establish DB connection: SQLSTATE[08006] [7] FATAL: Ident authentication failed for user "bacula"



I have tried it with a password set, and no password set. Not sure what I am doing incorrectly…



Thanks!

Jasen
