I've got PostgreSQL installed on a Ubuntu server and I'm trying to connect to that server using PGAdmin on a remote macbook.
I've created an ssh tunnel - macbook:~postgres$ ssh -L 5423:localhost:5432 postg...@mydomain.com And I can connect using psql on the macbook as expected - macbook:~ me$ psql -U postgres -p 5423 -h localhost ... postgres=# In the 'New Server Registration' window on PGAdminIII I'm entering the following credentials - Name - MyServer Host - localhost Port - 5423 Maintenance DB - postgres Username - postgres Password - <remote_postgres_password> However the connection fails - Error connecting to the server: FATAL: password authentication failed for user "postgres" Not sure what's going on here, these seem to be the same credentials I've used for psql. My pg_hba.conf file only has the following lines - # Database administrative login by Unix domain socket local all postgres peer # "local" is for Unix domain socket connections only local all all peer # IPv4 local connections: host all all 127.0.0.1/32 md5 # IPv6 local connections: host all all ::1/128 md5 -- View this message in context: http://postgresql.1045698.n5.nabble.com/Administer-postgres-from-PGAdmin-on-remote-mac-using-ssh-tunnel-tp5732503.html Sent from the PostgreSQL - pgadmin support mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Sent via pgadmin-support mailing list (pgadmin-support@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgadmin-support
