Well - might be a bug in 11.2.0.0 try to upgrade to newer version as described here:
https://smart-associates.biz/blog/converting-cp4d-to-vmware-vsphere-nps-v11-2-1-4
Also please check how you migrated OVA to AWS AMI (is worked in your local PC at all).

Simply editing this file (pg_hba.conf) doesn't seem to be having any effect.
When running the show connection; command, the connection still uses md5 authentication.
I assume the command makes other changes as well.
The documentation advises against manually editing the file so I've reverted the changes for now.

If you are on AWS AMI - might be something to do with AWS migration (I presume you haven't loaded OVA to AVA and did some conversion), though this nzsql command all it does is just pg_hba.conf update....
[nz@cp4d simdata]$ cat pg_hba.conf | grep -v '#' | grep .
local all trust
host all 127.0.0.1 255.255.255.255 password
host all 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 sha256

Hi Adam,
I already have the following line in /etc/sudoers:
nz ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL
Passwordless sudo access should already be enabled for the user (nz).
I tried using the specific path you mentioned but I'm still getting the same error.

Hi Samir,
We have imported the Netezza emulator to AWS AMI (NPSVB.11.2.0.0.BETA.ova).
I am currently trying to update the connection to use SHA256 using the following command:
SET CONNECTION host DATABASE 'all' IPADDR '0.0.0.0' IPMASK '0.0.0.0' AUTH 'sha256';
However, I get the following error when running the above command:
ERROR: nzauth failed 'sudo -p 'Invalid sudo configuration' -S </dev/null 2>&1 1>/tmp/.nzauth.out nzauth -D '/nz/simdata' ADDCONN -t host -d "all" -i '0.0.0.0' -m '0.0.0.0' -a 'sha256''
I was unable to find anything related to this error online. Do you have any possible solutions for this error?

Hi Adam,
Yes, we have discussed internally, the NPS 11.2.2.x emulator to be made available again. Will upload to MRS soon. The NPS 11.2.3.x emulator might take a couple of months more.
Regards,

Hi Samir,
Will it be added back later?
Is there another way to get the 11.x Developer Edition?
Regards,
Tony

Hi Tony,
The IBM Netezza Emulator for 11.x has been removed from MRS due to compliance issues.

Hello Samir,
I am currently trying to download the Netezza Performance Server 11.2 but it doesn't seem available at this location anymore:
https://www.ibm.com/resources/mrs/assets/packageList?source=swg-im-ibmndn&lang=en_US

The latest version I can find is "IBM Netezza Software Emulator for Developers V7.2.1".
Do you know where I can download 11.2?
Regards,
Tony
