libpq15 with postgres server16 and scram-sha-256
Started by MMover 1 year ago2 messagesgeneral
Hello
is it possible to connect with PGConnectdb version 15 to a server that has
in METHOD in pg_hba.conf "scram-sha-256"
or do I need version libpq 16 ?
If so, being constrained to remain at 15 libpq for now, is md5 allowed?
Rds,

You can use "scram-sha-256" authentication from v10 on.
Note that it only works if the database password is a scram-sha-256 hash, not an MD5 hash.
