Unable to add connection with no password #116

Open Nnonexistent opened 5 years ago

Nnonexistent commented 5 years ago

I'm trying to add a connection to a local postgresql server with no password (as local user).

On step 6/7 it failed with notification password authentication failed for user "..." and step 6/7 is still active. No connection is created.

Extension version 1.1.11

I have this issue as well. Kinda makes the extensions useless in my case.

You can just use any password, e.g. password

Borvik commented 2 years ago

local connections used named pipes, not a tcp connection to localhost - which is what this uses. tcp connections require a password.

the underlying library doing the connection could possibly accept something other than a tcp connection - though would probably require a large change to the add wizard to support.
