Subject: [pgjdbc/pgjdbc] issue #3756: Invalid SCRAM client initialization in FIPS mode
Date: Sun, 10 Aug 2025 07:48:36 +0000
Message-ID: <[email protected]> (raw)

**Describe the issue**
When trying to connect from JBoss EAP 7.4.9 I see the following error:

Invalid SCRAM client initialization

The same setup works with version 42.7.3.
It also works with 42.7.7  and FIPS mode disabled. 

**Driver Version?** 
42.7.7

**Java Version?**
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_422-b05)

**OS Version?**
AlmaLinux release 8.9 (Midnight Oncilla)
FIPS enabled

**PostgreSQL Version?**
17.5
ssl = off

**To Reproduce**
Steps to reproduce the behaviour:

- Enable FIPS mode and reboot: fips-mode-setup --enable
- Configure JBoss EAP to use a Datasource with the latest driver
