Sorry, I gave up after almost three hours of trying..
I've installed Confluence 5.3 on CentOS 6.4 server by downloading and launching .bin file.
I've installed PostgreSQL 9.0.14.
Now I'm trying to finish Confluence installation. I use this doc: https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Database+Setup+for+PostgreSQL
When I specify login and password and try to connect to the database I get this error: "org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: FATAL: Ident authentication failed for user "confluence". I'm stuck here and dispite all my attempts to solve this I always get this error. Now I want to switch to MySQL, because this DB is more familiar to me, but after so much time spent trying to find the solution I decided to ask the community first.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
I have the same experience with confluence 5.4.4 and postgresql 9.2.7. postgresql and confluence are on the same server.
I've verified that /var/lib/pgsql9/data/pg_hba.conf contains
local all all ident
Also verified that confluence is running as my confluence linux user
-bash-4.1$ id -u confluence
501
-bash-4.1$ ps -ef | grep confluence

I can successfully connect to postgres using
psql -U confluence confluence
When I setup the db connection in the confluence webapp, I use Direct JDBC and specify the username to be "confluence" with no password (I also tried setting the password to be the linux password), I get "org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: FATAL: Ident authentication failed for user "confluence""
I even went as far as changing the postgres authentication method to "trust" (and restarted postgresql). That gives the same error.
What else can I try?
I am at the same point. Installation of JIRA under debian 8.4 and postgresql 9.4.6.
Can log in easly under command line on my db server, but the JIRA connection screen says:
Error connecting to database
FATAL: password authentication failed for user "jiradbuser"
UPDATE:
I finaly solved it by changing the password to the same value again:
ALTER USER jiradbuser WITH PASSWORD 'thesamepassword';
You can check if your connection works by typing:
psql -h localhost -p 5432 -U dbuser dbname
(take the same values from the JIRA installation screen, copy the password when prompted).
