fe_sendauth: no password supplied error if Application data folder or pgpass.conf is not accessible

[kobruleht]

If application data folder in Windows is not accessible,

driver shows wrong error message:

fe_sendauth: no password supplied

To reproduce:

1. Type Windows+R

2. Enter %appdata%
   Directory C:\Users\userid\AppData\Roaming opens

3. Navigate one folder up and in Roaming folder properties, remove access rights from Roaming folder.
   Or create PostgreSql/pgpass.conf file and remove rights from it.

4. Use odbc driver to log in with user which requires password and enter password.

Observed:

fe_sendauth: no password supplied

error appears and logging to server fails.

So is the problem that the error message is wrong or you can't login ?

[kobruleht]

Both: itr is not possible to log in if password is supplied and error message is also wrong.

[davecramer]

Oh, so even if you supply the password it doesn't work. Your message was a bit confusing.

[kobruleht]

If correct password is supplied message is no password supplied.
