Is there a reason pg_shadow shows a password, yet log shows no password assigned?

I created a new postgresql 11 database cluster. I wrote a simple CRUD script using SQLAlchemy to test the connection on localhost and get "user authentication failed" output from python.



I checked the pg_hba.conf file for the new cluster and it shows:



local   all             ian                        peer


Already checked pg_authid and pg_shadow which clearly shows md5 password assigned to the db owner "ian." Also, I have checked that the new cluster is running with pg_lsclusters and it shows it running on port 5433. Checked logs after connection attempts and get the following message:



2018-11-16 10:00:59.712 PST [2102] ian@iandb1 DETAIL:  User "ian" has no password assigned.
Connection matched pg_hba.conf line 94: "host all all ::1/128 md5"


A little background: I have already connected this script to the default DB cluster owned by postgres. I can connect and perform the CRUD operations fine with the postgres username and password in the connection string.



Any help would be appreciated. I think there is some type of change I need to make, but can't imagine where it needs to happen. Still learning the ropes.

          Ok, well I hope this post saves someone else a little frustration, immediately after submitting this question-- which had me stumped for several hours, I found this:



          source: link to article




          By default, when you create a PostgreSQL cluster, password authentication for the database superuser (“postgres”) is disabled. The simplest and safest way to add a password to the “postgres” user is to connect to the local server using “psql” (see steps #1 and #2 above), then type the “password” meta command of psql. You will be asked to enter a password and confirm it.




          postgres=# password    
          Enter new password:
          Enter it again:
          postgres=#


          I substituted my new cluster owner name 'ian' and assigned a password. I ran the script and everything seems to be working fine now. These are the little things new programmers have to struggle through I guess... Thanks to anyone who can add to my explanation here.
