This error is specific to the Postgres JDBC driver, which relies on its own application layer for FIPS and SCRAM because it speaks directly the protocol and because it has no dependency to libpq.
The thing is we are currently using the same password, which is less than 112 bits in length, for both versions 11 and 14 of Postgres. Although I am not a Postgres expert, I would like to understand the specific changes in the Postgres JDBC driver that are causing this error in postgres14
Could you please clarify if the Postgres JDBC driver has been updated between Postgres 11 and 14? I am also interested in knowing how I can investigate the root cause within the Postgres JDBC driver itself.
Additionally, I would like to inquire if there are any alternative steps to resolve this issue without requiring a password change to a length greater than 14 characters.
Are there any specific failures you are seeing in the PostgreSQL backend that you find confusing?
The FIPS error is the main source of confusion for me. It seems that this error occurs specifically during the cluster setup, which subsequently leads to the failure of the DB setup.
