psql: FATAL: password authentication failed for user “kodekloud_rin”
hi KodeKloud Team,
Even i’ve made sure all the steps were configured properly . But still I get user or db not created properly . Can you please recheck or provide me any option to re-do the task ?
Hi @Preetesh
Seems like you missed this point
d. Make appropriate settings to allow local clients to connect to the <database> database through <databse_user> user using md5 encrypted password for authentication.
Please note that local clients might be running as different linux users but they should be able to connect to PostgreSQL using the credentials you created.

Hi @kaushik
You had a mistake here
As per details given in the question you had to make sure to local clients are able to access the database using credentials you created.

Why you are not changed database “kodekloud_db9” owner to kodekloud_top? is it not compulsory ?
hi Inderpreet,
Thanks for that . Please let me know what exactly had to be done here . It will help me correct my mistake . 
local all all md5
credentials that you have to set to local clients are able to access the database.
@kaushik task is about local clients so where we need ip address.
add local all all md5
here is the solution of your questions
Hope it will help you to understand your query.
thanks,

Hi @Inderpreet, I also had this problem even I have installed and configured Postgresql as required but it shows the task as failure.
Please check the below steps which I performed during the installation and configuring the PostgreSQL
- sudo yum install postgresql-server postgresql-contrib
- sudo postgresql-setup initdb
- sudo systemctl enable postgresql && sudo systemctl start postgresql
- echo -n ‘BruCStnMT5’ | md5sum
- sudo -u postgres psql postgres
- CREATE USER kodekloud_joy WITH ENCRYPTED PASSWORD ‘1de08cde294b11aa10e2d39b30286c95’;
- CREATE DATABASE kodekloud_db3 OWNER kodekloud_joy;
- GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE kodekloud_db3 TO kodekloud_joy;
- sudo vi /var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_hba.conf
- sudo vi /var/lib/pgsql/data/postgresql.conf
- sudo systemctl restart postgresql.service
- psql -U kodekloud_joy -d kodekloud_db3 -h 127.0.0.1 -W
Can you please check ?
I am having the same issue. Anyone please help me.
@Inderpreet @Tej-Singh-Rana @mmumshad @fazalmahmood.
I did the same process as you described @fazalmahmood but it shows failed login with error message as "psql: FATAL: password authentication failed for user “kodekloud_user” . There is one thing I need to know that what to write in “postgresql.conf” and “pg_hba.conf” files or what else I need to change in the process @mmumshad @Inderpreet @Tej-Singh-Rana @kaushik .
Already described there compare with your pg_hba.conf file. You have to setup connection for local and authentication with md5 encrypted password so change peer to md5.
@rakshita I think you made mistake here
echo -n ‘BruCStnMT5’ | md5sum
you should replace BruCStnMT5 with your password as mentioned in your task and use the md5 output in following command
CREATE USER “KODEKLOUD_USER_HERE” WITH ENCRYPTED PASSWORD ‘YOUR_MD5_WILL_BE_HERE’;
and uncomment “listen_addresses” in postgresql.conf and replace existing Method with md5 in pg_hba.conf
Hope It’ll work for you
I have used my password only. And did all the configurations as you mentioned. Still not working???
@fazalmahmood
You don’t need to convert the password into md5.
I performed the whole task in right way but still unable to login to user and resulted in task failure.
Please check @Inderpreet @mmumshad @Tej-Singh-Rana @fazalmahmood @kaushik.
