Hi all. Im triyng, with no success, to create a user, and set the
password with a md5 string.
I did this:
comechingon:~ # echo -n 123 | md5sum
202cb962ac59075b964b07152d234b70 -
Ok, so then
test=# CREATE USER foobar ENCRYPTED PASSWORD
'md5202cb962ac59075b964b07152d234b70'; --I have to add 'md5' at the
begging of the string
CREATE ROLE
test=# SELECT * from pg_shadow where usename='foobar';usename | usesysid | usecreatedb | usesuper | usecatupd |passwd
| valuntil | useconfig
---------+----------+-------------+----------+-----------+-------------------------------------+----------+-----------foobar
| 3250592 | f | f | f |
md5202cb962ac59075b964b07152d234b70 | |
(1 row)
test=# \c test foobar
Password for user foobar: [123, off course]
FATAL: password authentication failed for user "foobar"
Previous connection kept
test=# SHOW server_version;server_version
----------------8.3.6
Im wondering which my mystake is:
Using md5sum?
I do have 'md5' as validation mechanism in pg_hba.conf
Any hints?
Thanks!
Gerardo
