Can't connect to shared database

See original GitHub issue

JabRef version

Latest development branch build (please note build date below)

Operating system

Windows

Details on version and operating system

No response

Checked with the latest development build

  • I made a backup of my libraries before testing the latest development version.
  • I have tested the latest development version and the problem persists

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

  1. Open jabref
  2. Click on Connect to shared Database
  3. Wait a couple of seconds
  4. get an error

Appendix

On one windows devices it DID work, on two others it didn’t. To test if it’s the firewall blocking the connection I deactivated it but to no avail. I tried to directly connect to the database (from an windows machine, where jabref was not able to connect) via Datagrip and that worked. So it seems like it is a bug in Jabref… Do you have any idea what the problem might be? It may be a bug, but why would it work on one windows machine but not the other ones?

Weirdly it seems to work if I connect with the hostname of the postgres server but not with the respective IP…

this bug seems to only exist in the Windows version of jabref. Connecting via IP as well as via Hostname works fine on Linux machines… Strange
