Hi,
Sending this as requested by xocolatl on #postgresql (irc).
On discovering that (md5) password hashes are stored in postgres in a
manner similar to this:
'md5' || md5('the most secret password' || 'username')
i.e. without the use of a random salt, it was suggested I should look
into the scram alternative.
I can't find information about the storage format for that at all -
other than "... and supports storing passwords on the server in a
cryptographically hashed form that is thought to be secure."
It would be nice to see more information on this.
Thanks,
Richard
