Subject: fix notes about password encryption in pg_authid docs
Date: Mon, 2 Jun 2025 09:16:10 -0500
Message-ID: <aD2yKkZro4nbl5ol@nathan> (raw)

I noticed that the docs for the pg_authid catalog still indicate that
passwords might be stored "unencrypted," which hasn't been possible since
commit eb61136.  The attached patch attempts to fix that.  If acceptable,
I'd back-patch it to all supported versions.
