Обсуждение: Problem connecting NT-psqlODBC to Linux-PostgreSQL
Hello all,
I'm trying to connect from a NT via psqlODBC (6.40.0005) to a
Linux-machine with PostgreSQL 6.5.1 up and running. The connection is
refused and in the logfile on the Linux-machine is the following message:
Unable to connect to Ident server on the host which is trying to connect
to Postgres (IP address 212.52.7.241, Port 113). errno = Connection
refused (111)
In the PostgreSQL-homedir there is also a file odbcinst.ini. Because I
didn't install PostgreSQL myself, I don't know why it's there and if this
can cause the trouble.
Thanks,
Jelle.

It needs an ident server to be running on the client computer, to authenticate that the user making the connection is indeed who he claims to be. That is, on your NT. Either choose a different authentication method, or run an ident server on the NT (is there such a beast?). Herouth -- Herouth Maoz, Internet developer.

I think it has to do w/ pg_hba.conf it's under $PGDATA/database , iirc. Take a look @ it. Second, hmm, your port is 113 but I know the default is 5432. If nobody is listening to a port where you are trying to connect, you get the same respone (connection refused). -- CIMPOESU Teodor, Web Programmer @ DIGICOM S.A.

No, you got that wrong. Port 113 is on the CLIENT side. It goes like this: * NT tries to connect to port 5432 on Postgres server * The pg_hba.conf defines the authentication for this client as "ident" * Therefore Postgres server tries to connect to the ident server on the NT. This is done through port 113 on the NT * Postgres doesn't find anybody on the NT listening to that port. That means no ident server is running on the NT. * Connection is therefore refused because user could not be authenticated. Herouth -- Herouth Maoz, Internet developer.
