I‘ve downloaded postgres on centos, created a database, created a user with a password, restarted postgres, checked the user in pg_authid, done it again, and I still can‘t connect.

Why can‘t I connect?

postgres=# create database test;
CREATE DATABASE
postgres=# create user test with password ‘test‘;
CREATE ROLE
postgres=# grant all privileges on database test to test;
GRANT
postgres=# select * from pg_authid where rolname = ‘test‘;
 rolname | rolsuper | rolinherit | rolcreaterole | rolcreatedb | rolcatupdate | rolcanlogin | rolreplication | rolconnlimit |             rolpassword             | rolvaliduntil 
---------+----------+------------+---------------+-------------+--------------+-------------+----------------+--------------+-------------------------------------+---------------
 test    | f        | t          | f             | f           | f            | t           | f              |           -1 | md505a671c66aefea124cc08b76ea6d30bb | 
(1 row)
postgres=# alter user test with password ‘test‘;
ALTER ROLE
 

In the midst of this, I‘ve sudo service postgresql restart multiple times, but am still getting this:

>>> conn = psycopg2.connect(host="127.0.0.1", port="5432", dbname="test", user="test", password="test")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/psycopg2/__init__.py", line 130, in connect
    conn = _connect(dsn, connection_factory=connection_factory, **kwasync)
psycopg2.OperationalError: FATAL:  Ident authentication failed for user "test"
 

I‘m out of ideas :(

EDIT:

I also tried changing

# "local" is for Unix domain socket connections only
local   all             all                                     peer

to

# "local" is for Unix domain socket connections only
local   all             all                                     trust
