Обсуждение: MS Client ODBC question
I have pgsql 6.5 installed on HPUX with an entry in the pg_hba.conf file that says: host all 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 crypt I am trying to connect to it from a Win 98 box that I have installed the psqlodbc_07_01_0008 ODBC driver on. I can't get it to connect. I get back errors from my client app that says something like: "Password crypt authentication not supported" Why is this? Is it because the psqlodbc driver does not know how to send crypted passwords to the pgsql server? Is there some other ODBC driver for Win 98 that does support crypt? Will things work if I change my pg_hba.conf file authentication field to be 'passwd'? or 'trusted'? Thanks your help is appreciated, - Jim Piper

Ok thanks, when I changed the pg_hba.conf authentication field from 'crypt' to 'password' I was able to connect from my Win 98 box using ODBC (tables look good from Excel->data->import->query). Are there any plans to to make the Postgres Win ODBC driver support connections using authentication by crypt or Kerberos? Regards, Jim Piper -----Original Message----- From: Brent R.

Good question. ODBC has never supported crypt. 7.2b2 supports MD5 encryption, which will be the prefered password encryption method for future PostgreSQL versions. FYI, crypt was never supported because we have been using the native operating system's crypt() and Win* doesn't have that function. However, MD5 is better than crypt in several ways so we are standarizing on that now. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us pgman@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 853-3000 + If your life is a hard drive, | 830 Blythe Avenue + Christ can be your backup. | Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania 19026
