Thread: change p/w hashing

Hi list,

Is there an easy way to discard Pg default md5 password hashing and replace it
by SHA256 (or SHA512) + salt?

I doubt there's an "easy way". First, the md5 authentication of
clients via libpq would be broken. Second, AFAIK the only hash algo
built into core is MD5 (SHA-256 and friends are in
./contrib/pgcrypto).
