Subject: Can we stop defaulting to 'ident'?
Date: Thu, 19 Dec 2019 12:58:59 +0800
Message-ID: <CAMsr+YFCuBGWh4=aM-K2LCsBEwcrqm=pphKKHEH09vHwXcspow@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

'ident' doesn't work by default on any RPM disto.

It's not clear why the initdb wrapper for the rpm packages defaults to
generating 'host' entries with 'ident' auth, but I think it's pretty
unhelpful. At least if we used 'md5' the user could set passwords and have
them actually work.

    initdbcmd="$PGENGINE/initdb --pgdata='$PGDATA' --auth='ident'"
    initdbcmd+=" $PGSETUP_INITDB_OPTIONS"

I know you can override it easily enough, but most people won't know to.
