Symptoms

Bamboo shows the following error when trying to set up Bamboo to use a PostgreSQL database:

Error accessing database: FATAL:  Ident authentication failed for user Bamboo

Cause

This is an error that is coming from PostgreSQL.

Resolution

Trying to connect to PostgreSQL from command line shows the same error message, which means that the issue is not caused by Bamboo. Follow the recommendation from this page: edit the /var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_hba.conf file and change ident to trust, then restart postgres:

# TYPE  DATABASE    USER        CIDR-ADDRESS          METHOD

# "local" is for Unix domain socket connections only
local   all         all                               trust

# IPv4 local connections:
host    all         all         127.0.0.1/32          trust
host    all         all         105.52.84.50/32       trust

# IPv6 local connections:
host    all         all         ::1/128               ident
