Re: password encyption

MessageHi Dave,

ok thank you!

but nevertheless the encryption of the user password is not a bad idea, so what encyption method is used by pgadmin?
i mean i create a user with pgadmin, specify a password for the user
if i check the pg_shadow table i see a long text in the pasword field.
if i want to connect this user to the database, what kind encyption method i have to use?

Ivan

Hi,

Under Tools -> Options, on the PostgreSQL tab, uncheck the box labelled 'Use Encrypted Passwords', and then alter the password for your user.

Regards, Dave.
