My requirement is to prompt for a password when connecting through Pgpool (port 9999) and to avoid using the pool_password file. However, I’m currently getting the error related to the lack of an entry in the pool_passwd file. Could you please advise how I can achieve password authentication without using the pool_password file, while ensuring that Pgpool prompts for the password during connection? Here is the relevant configuration from my pool_hba.conf: host all all 10.125.0.90/32 trust # Node 1 host all all 10.125.0.91/32 trust # Node 2 #host all all 10.125.0.79/32 scram-sha-256 # Node 3 host all all 0.0.0.0/0 scram-sha-256 # All nodes error :- [postgres@scrbtrheldbaas002 PG_DATA]$ psql -h 10.125.0.79 -U vkp -d postgres -p 9999 psql: error: connection to server at "10.125.0.79", port 9999 failed: FATAL: SCRAM authentication failed DETAIL: pool_passwd file does not contain an entry for "vkp"
