Dear All,
When I do CREATE USER [user] WITH PASSWORD 'password'
why the encryption didn't work ? I saw in the pg_shadow table look like as
i set the password ?
SELECT * FROM PG_SHADOW
in password field will shown : 'password' ??????
Is there any way to activate md5 encryption in PostgreSQL ? or It was done
by compiling it when first installation ????
thankss

Hi David,
Thanks for the reply.
Unfortunately, thats not quite the problem. I want to create passwords
that will work in the pg_shadow table. So, I need them to be calculated
in exactly the same way PostgreSQL does when you do a CREATE USER
matthew WITH PASSWORD testing.
For example, If I create a user in PostgreSQL called 'matthew' with
password 'testing', I get pg_shadow entry with passwd:
md5759af56ffaf865413f7a50b4fae20ea3
but, if I do a simple md5 of 'testing' like you've done below, I get:
ae2b1fca515949e5d54fb22b8ed95575
As you can see, those don't match.
Perhaps I'm missing something though?
Cheers
Matthew.
