If you try to connect to a PostgreSQL database that is deployed through Docker, you may see the following error message: `CONNECTION_LOST | pq: unknown authentication response: 10`.

# Solution

:::hint{type="info"}
**Note**: This solution is for PostgreSQL version 10 and later. 
:::

In Litmus Edge, navigate to **Applications **> **Containers **and run the following command. 

```shell
docker run -d --name some-postgres --restart=always -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=password -e POSTGRES_HOST_AUTH_METHOD="password" -p 5432:5432 postgres
```

As of PostgreSQL version 10, the `POSTGRES_HOST_AUTH_METHOD` parameter was changed to default MD5. Because of this, you will need to override the default `POSTGRES_HOST_AUTH_METHOD` parameter to be `password` instead.
