Thank you very much for your response. After changing the "password_encryption" option to "md5" in the postgresql.conf file, the server can now successfully connect to the database. Thanks again for your help. -----Original Message----- From: Adrian Klaver <adrian.klaver@xxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, October 30, 2024 12:06 AM To: Daniel Gustafsson <daniel@xxxxxxxx>; 馬 騰飛 <ma-tengfei@xxxxxx> Cc: pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Compatibility Issues with Npgsql and .NET Framework 3.5 after Upgrading to PostgreSQL 16.3 CAUTION:This is an external email.

Potential issue with above per: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/auth-password.html "To ease transition from the md5 method to the newer SCRAM method, if md5 is specified as a method in pg_hba.conf but the user's password on the server is encrypted for SCRAM (see below), then SCRAM-based authentication will automatically be chosen instead." Therefore a roles password could still be in SCRAM. You would need to change the actual passwords also. According to the issue below Npgsql supports SCRAM: https://github.com/npgsql/npgsql/issues/5593 Which translates into Npgsql 3.2.7: https://github.com/npgsql/npgsql/releases/tag/v3.2.7 > > -- > Daniel Gustafsson > > > -- Adrian Klaver adrian.klaver@xxxxxxxxxxx
