Error Trying To Connect Postgresql Data Source.

Hello,

When I try to connect to the postgre database the following error appears:

"Could not connect to data source using an encrypted connection. To access this data source using an unencrypted connection, click OK.

 

After I click OK, another error message appears:

"Cannot authenticate with the provided credentials. Please try again."

 

I already checked my username and password. It's all OK.

Does anyone know what can it be?

Hello @Anonymous ,

 

First thing I would check is the official documentation: and make sure you are respecting the supported authentication (User and Pass and NOT Windows)postgres RS.png

 

If these are OK ... next step is to open a support ticket .

 

 

If you liked my solution please give it a thumbs up 👍

If I did answer your question please mark my post as a solution .

Thank you !

 

 

Cristian
