PostrgeSQL: pgpass file authentication

Hej

I would like to be able to authenticate to PostgreSQL using their .pgpass mechanism. I think along the lines DBeaver sports it - see attached screenshot.

Thiemo,


Thanks for the suggestion. I'll open a ticket for it.

Hej Thiemo,


We've started the beta testing of the next feature version and it comes with support for .pgpass.

Give it a try and let us know what you think.

Hej Roger


I have come to test it only now and only under Linux. It just works. :-) What is there more to say? Perfect! Many thanks.

Hej Roger


I am afraid, there is more to say. I could test under Windwos and I could not make it work. First, I placed the .pgpass file into %APPDATA%\postgresql\pgpass.conf as the PostgreSQL documentation states to do and additionally into the user directory. In my opinion, the only adaquate place to put the file is the one PostgreSQL itself expects it in order to avoid maintenance of the file in different locations.


Please find the debug log attached and my below my applications properties.
