Adrian, David,
Thank you so much for the quick response.
What would be the point of storing the encrypted password instead of the plaintext one?
As per our organization security policies, we can 't keep any passwords in plain text format.
I am working on postgres + pgbouncer setup, tested pgbouncer 1.14 where we have support to use encrypted password in userlist,txt file. I am surprised why pgpass is not supporting encrypted passwords.
scram-sha-256 encrypted passwords are supported in .pgpass file ? If yes kindly provide us an example.
I am using below format and it is not working for me
pglnx1:5432:pgbouncer:pgadmin:"SCRAM-SHA-256$4096:6IDsjfedwsdpymp0Za7jaMew==$rzSoYL4ZYsW1WJAj7Lt3JtNLNR73AVY7sfsauikweblk][=:Hxx/juPXJZHy5djPctI="
The documentation doesn't say so one way or the other so I would go with no. The password in the pgpass file has to be the plaintext password. The client, upon speaking with the server, will decide whether to send the plaintext password to the server or encrypt it prior to transmission.
What would be the point of storing the encrypted password instead of the plaintext one?
