The driver seems to be loading fine, but I receive this error when starting the applet: java.sql.SQLException: Failed to authenticate client as Postgres user 'bscross' using the default authentication type: be_recvauth: host-based authentication failed. The bscross user is both a system user and one I created in postgres. Do I need to change the authentication type, and if so what does it need to be? I have read every FAQ and HOWTO I could find with no luck. I would be forever in debt if someone could help me out with this. Thanks! --Brian Cross.
