Cause

The JDBC client login uses 'Ident-based authentication' method instead of 'password authentication' mode.

Resolution

By default PostgreSQL uses IDENT-based authentication and this will never allow you to login via -U and -W options. Allow username and password based authentication from your application by using the appropriate authentication method for your Bitbucket database user. You can do this by modifying the pg_hba.conf file.

You can identify the location of the pg_hba.conf file by running the following command in psql command line, you'll need to be logged in as a superuser in the database:

postgres=# show hba_file ;
 hba_file
--------------------------------------  
/var/lib/postgresql/data/pgdata/pg_hba.conf 
(1 row)

This file controls:

  1. Which hosts are allowed to connect
  2. How clients are authenticated
  3. Which PostgreSQL user names they can use
  4. Which databases they can access

An example of this file:

local	all	all	trust
host	all	127.0.0.1/32	trust

Don't forget to restart PostgreSQL after saving your changes to the file by running service postgresql restart.
