[ledgersmb-users] Re: Problem moving from 1.7.35 to 1.8.13

Hi Louis, 

Are you able to login to setup.pl with the pg admin user (normally postgres in the containers) with no company name?

Once logged in like that you should see a list of databases present on the cluster.

Ok, I've been trying various iterations of this without success.

I have scripted it so that I can replicate with accuracy. Basically I

1) Log in to existing tarball instance with a known good username and
password

2) Log out of tarball instance and shutdown the tarball starman.

3) ensure all of previously existing docker instance is removed

4) use the docker-compose method of starting  postges and lsmb
containers.

5) do a pg_dump of tarball instance "hethcote" database

6) create the same good username and password in the container's postgres
and check that the md5sum passwords match.

7) copy the pg_dump into the postgres container

8) docker exec psql with \i to load the pg_dump from tarball instance to
docker instance

9) log in using known good username from tarball instance into the docker
instance and get a bad username/password message.

Is there something I missing?

Louis
