There are two possible causes:
1) the GNUmed users don't belong to the proper group(s) inside the database
- they must belong to the group "gm-logins" in order to be able to
login to any GNUmed database
- they must belong to the group "gnumed_v5" in order to be able to
login to the gnumed_v5 database
Both requirements are taken care of by the bootstrapper if everything
works as expected.
2) the Windows PG server is not configured to allow GNUmed
users to connect

Yes. But GNUmed does not require you to use "local".

Yes. But GNUmed does not require you to use "local".

One will have to configure the server to allow connections
like so (for example):
host samegroup +gm-logins 127.0.0.1 255.255.255.255
md5

The problem *is* solved. "All it takes" is to properly
configure PostgreSQL. We can't help it that PG is so rich in
authentication features. A client (like GNUmed) can't force
PG to use a certain authentication method, either.
