Well, actually I *do* want to. My goal is to be able to use my existing set of database users to authenticate to web apps running in Tomcat. Tomcat allows you to set up a JDBC Realm for authentication, which lets you connect to a database and use usernames and passwords from that database. The problem is that Tomcat computes the digest without a salt and, therefore, authentication is failing because the two digested versions of the same password are different.
Has anyone else used postgres to set up a JDBC Realm? Can anyone suggest any alternatives? -- Robert Abernethy IV Dynamic Edge, Inc. 734.975.0460 > "Rob Abernethy IV" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > > Can you tell postgres *NOT* to use a salt when calculating the MD5 > > digest? > > No, and you wouldn't want to.
