Thread: Authentication Problems

Hello,

I am having problems logging into my database via the JDBC driver on Linux
clients only. The windows clients can log in just fine. I am using MD5
authentication as an option in my pg_hba.conf file.

Could this be due to differing underlying encryption system calls on the
client OS? Other than that I am stumped...

Thanks alot,

Jason,

There was a recent patch applied to fix some md5 bugs.  The bugs
surfaces when certain character sets where used (the original bug report
was with multibyte character sets, but it could affect others as well).
  I would suggest trying the latest development build on
jdbc.postgresql.org to see if this patch fixes your problem.

thanks,
--Barry
