I'm trying to set up Postgres to allow passwordless login to anyone
logged into the server via ssh.
If I have in pg_hba.conf:
local all all md5
local all all ident sameuser
- access from PHP etc. works (with a password) but prompts for a
password to shell users (no good for automated backups).
If I reverse the lines, so that "ident sameuser" comes first, login from
the shell is passwordless, but PHP can't read the database:
'Ident authentication failed for user "ben"'.
How do I go about making it fall back to the md5 method if the ident
method fails? I'm assuming I've missed something really obvious, but I
didn't find out anything useful from Google.
