I think this query should be:
SELECT usename
FROM pg_shadow
WHERE passwd = 'md5' || md5(usename || usename) OR
passwd = 'md5' || md5('company_password' || usename);
Since the md5 passwords in pg_shadow (and pg_authid) are created as:
MD5(password || username)
By the way, the documentation pages for pg_authid and pg_shadow don't
mention that md5 passwords are stored in this fashion, perhaps they
should? Or is this fact documented somewhere else I'm not seeing?
