Two Riemannian metrics have the same Levi-Civita connection precisely when their relative positive self-adjoint endomorphism is parallel for that connection. Parallel transport preserves both metrics. Consequently agreement at one point implies agreement everywhere on a connected manifold. Without that agreement, constant scalar multiples always give examples; constant nonproportional Euclidean forms show that a common connection does not force scalar proportionality.
