[pgpool-general: 8168] md5 fails to find pool_passwd update

[Wolf Schwurack]

I added a new user to postgres and updated pool_passwd file with the new user but when I run the command to test the new user fails to find the user in pool_passwd file. If I grep for the user in pool_passwd file it find the user.

PostgreSQL version = 13.6
PgPool version = pgpool-II-4.3.0
OS version = Ubuntu 20.04



postgres at pgprod-01:~$ psql -h wd-pgprod -p 9999 -U was -d lportal

psql: error: connection to server at "wd-pgprod" , port 9999 failed: FATAL:  md5 authentication failed

DETAIL:  pool_passwd file does not contain an entry for "was"

I grep for the user

postgres at pgprod-01:~$ grep was pool_passwd

was:md525160d2ca30985214a68ad92b542a6ce

I check for the user in postgres

postgres=# select rolname,rolpassword from pg_authid;
was                       | md525160d2ca30985214a68ad92b542a6ce

In pgpool.conf
# - Authentication -

enable_pool_hba = on
pool_passwd = 'pool_passwd'

pool_hba.conf file

host    lportal                 was             10.11.6.214/32          md5

List pool_passwd file

postgres at pgprod-01:~$ ls -l pool_passwd

lrwxrwxrwx 1 postgres postgres 26 Jul 28  2020 pool_passwd -> /usr/local/etc/pool_passwd
