I am a bit out of my element. I don't even know where PDKDF2 is coming from. I just confirmed that I can connect from one pod with psql installed to the postgres pod with a straight up "psql -h posgtgresql-gms -p 5432 -d mydb -U gms_read_only" and then I can run queries just fine. So there is something on the Java side that is not connecting correctly. Thank you everyone. This was helpful. -----Original Message----- From: Rob Sargent <robjsargent@xxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, March 21, 2022 5:08 PM To: pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [EXTERNAL] Re: Can you install/run postgresql on a FIPS enabled host?

Is there any indication that PBKDF2 and SCRAM-SHA-256 should play nice? Caused by: org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: Something unusual has occurred to cause the driver to fail.
