Thanks for the clarification. According to this page, https://jdbc.postgresql.org/documentation/changelog.html#version_42.2.0, scram support was added in JDBC driver 42.2.0. I am on 42.2.18. And using the java code mentioned above, I still get the same error.

No, what that says is that the server is going to insist on scram-sha-256.
If the client can't handle SCRAM, then a failure would be expected.
