Manually authenticating users in pg_shadow - Mailing list pgsql-general

Is there a way, having a user entered username and password, to select a single row from pg_shadow which is using md5
passwordencryption? 

I'm currently authenticating web users (.asp page) with our own user table that uses crypt()  to store passwords. I'd
liketo remove our 'redundant' user table and use pg_shadow. The authentication function I'm using is included in the
attachment...

Thanks.
