Thread: MD5 PasswordPacket
Where can I read up on the encoding of the String in the PasswordPacket required when I get an AuthenticationMD5Password message from the backend? I've looked at some code that implements the encoding, but reading the specification (the intent) would be most useful. One question in particular springs to mind: can usernames and passwords be made up of multi-byte characters, and how does this affect the MD5 encoding? Thanks. P.S. Many thanks for the help with my character string encoding questions. I have that all working nicely, now. :-)

That string is encoded twice, once with the username string, and another time with the random salt sent from the server. > One question in particular springs to mind: can usernames and passwords > be made up of multi-byte characters, and how does this affect the MD5 > encoding? It should be fine, I think. The encoding is just a string if bytes to MD5, and there is no encoding conversion done as part of that transfer. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us pgman@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 359-1001+ If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania19073
