That's the value in my PostgreSQL server's postgresql.conf.
Are you saying that pgAdmin knows the password_encryption setting for the
server?
I'm not sure, but I'd hazard a guess it's the underlying libpq library
that during the handshake works out which authentication scheme to use.
How was your user created? When you add a new login role, it stores
the encrypted password in the login profile:
CREATE ROLE test LOGIN ENCRYPTED PASSWORD
'md505a671c66aefea124cc08b76ea6d30bb'
NOINHERIT
VALID UNTIL 'infinity';
If the value of password_encryption was set to off when the user was
created, I'd guess it would create it with a plain-text password (not
100% sure.)
I'd like to be able to connect using both plaintext and md5-encrypted
passwords to the same server depending on the environment in which the
client lives.
Create a different line in pg_hba.conf for each host environment
(network IP range), using the relevant "password" or "md5" keyword.
Andy.
