+    Authentication failures and related problems generally
+    manifest themselves through error messages like the following:
+   </p><p>
+</p><pre class="programlisting">
+FATAL:  no pg_hba.conf entry for host "123.123.123.123", user "andym", database "testdb"
+</pre><p>
+    This is what you are most likely to get if you succeed in contacting
+    the server, but it does not want to talk to you. As the message
+    suggests, the server refused the connection request because it found
+    no matching entry in its <code class="filename">pg_hba.conf</code>
+    configuration file.
+   </p><p>
+</p><pre class="programlisting">
+FATAL:  password authentication failed for user "andym"
+</pre><p>
+    Messages like this indicate that you contacted the server, and it is
+    willing to talk to you, but not until you pass the authorization
+    method specified in the <code class="filename">pg_hba.conf</code> file. Check
+    the password you are providing, or check your Kerberos or ident
+    software if the complaint mentions one of those authentication
+    types.
+   </p><p>
+</p><pre class="programlisting">
+FATAL:  user "andym" does not exist
+</pre><p>
+    The indicated database user name was not found.
+   </p><p>
+</p><pre class="programlisting">
+FATAL:  database "testdb" does not exist
+</pre><p>
+    The database you are trying to connect to does not exist. Note that
+    if you do not specify a database name, it defaults to the database
+    user name, which might or might not be the right thing.
+   </p><div class="tip"><h3 class="title">Tip</h3><p>
+    The server log might contain more information about an
+    authentication failure than is reported to the client. If you are
+    confused about the reason for a failure, check the server log.
