Do I have to do something special?
Hi Brad,
FYI: The PostgreSQL frontend-backend protocol works in such a way
that it virtually excludes that you'd have to do something other than
providing the password.
It's the server side that issues a 'request' for an MD5 password, not
the client that would 'impose' an MD5 password. The plugin only has
to listen to the different parts of the server's request and then
take your password and send it back to the server appropriately
hashed.
You could perhaps be coding some stuff yourself if you had access to
the different parts of the server's MD5 request but I figure as long
as the plugin doesn't provide you with these values there's no
working around it. (Obviously it shouldn't provide the values but
just do everything for you.) There's no way you can appropriately
hash your password yourself without having received all parts of the
server's MD5 request. This behavior is intended and is a part of
PostgreSQL's security mechanism.
