Hi,
I'm trying to enable "ident" authentication on my Windows machine using PostgreSQL 9.1
However as soon as I add the following line to pg_hba.conf
host all all ::1/128 ident sameuser
I get an error message when trying to login (after a server reload of course)
psql: FATAL: could not load pg_hba.conf
It is precisely that line above. As soon as I remove it I can logon again (with a username/password of course).
I did verify that my connections are done through IPV6.
Here is the current content of my pg_hba.conf:
--------- snip ----------
# TYPE DATABASE USER ADDRESS METHOD
# IPv4 local connections:
host all all 127.0.0.1/32 md5
# IPv6 local connections:
host all all ::1/128 md5
--------- snip ----------
Ideally I would like to make "ident" to work with a custom map but using "ident tkmap". But that throws the same error which isn't really surprising as "ident tkmap" is not working either.
Is ident not supported on Windows? I could not find anything related to that in the manual.
Regards
Thomas
