Hi all. Im triyng, with no success, to create a user, and set the password with a md5 string.
I did this: comechingon:~ # echo -n 123 | md5sum 202cb962ac59075b964b07152d234b70 - Ok, so then test=# CREATE USER foobar ENCRYPTED PASSWORD 'md5202cb962ac59075b964b07152d234b70'; --I have to add 'md5' at the begging of the string CREATE ROLE test=# SELECT * from pg_shadow where usename='foobar'; usename | usesysid | usecreatedb | usesuper | usecatupd | passwd | valuntil | useconfig ---------+----------+-------------+----------+-----------+-------------------------------------+----------+----------- foobar | 3250592 | f | f | f | md5202cb962ac59075b964b07152d234b70 | | (1 row) test=# \c test foobar Password for user foobar: [123, off course] FATAL: password authentication failed for user "foobar" Previous connection kept test=# SHOW server_version; server_version ---------------- 8.3.6 Im wondering which my mystake is: Using md5sum? I do have 'md5' as validation mechanism in pg_hba.conf Any hints? Thanks!
