Hello again ...


I'm trying to Authenticate to some PostgreSQL using MD5.

I can get the salt, for example:

A7 2E DB 2F


Hello

The md5 authentication in PostgreSQL works this way:

server -------------- 4-byte token ---------------------------> client
server <--- "md5" + md5(md5(password + username) + token)" ---- client

Where did gou get this ?

I can't find it in the docs ...

AuthenticationMD5Password
The frontend must now send a PasswordMessage containing the password encrypted via MD5, using the 4-character salt specified in the AuthenticationMD5Password message. If this is the correct password, the server responds with an AuthenticationOk, otherwise it responds with an
ErrorResponse.

Also, for what I see, I have to send the first byte with 'p' and then the MD5 of the psw using the salt, I cna't see the specification where I have to send the 'md5' string ...

And, I have to make two MD5 ...

I'll give it a try ...

thanks,


raimon
