Re: protocol, md5 authentication - Mailing list pgsql-interfaces

libpq implements it properly. I'd suggest looking at the client source.

Also, I *think* I have this working correctly in my PQueue module, so if you
don't mind a little Python:

  import md5
  pw = md5.new(self.password + self.keywords['user']).hexdigest()
  pw = 'md5' + md5.new (pw + authmsg.salt).hexdigest()

self.password is the password given by the user.
self.keywords['user'] is the user name.
authmsg.salt is the salt given by the server.
