Subject: retrieving information about password from MS Access front-end
Date: Sun, 12 Jun 2005 23:12:27 +0200
Message-ID: <00b901c56f93$b6d20520$8c261dc3@zlatkovyfkpgz6> (raw)
How could I retrieve information about actual user password, if md5 method is set in pg_hba.conf ?
I want to create VBA procedure that compares value in text box with actual password to determine if it is the same. As the password is encrypted (md5) I can't read it from pg_shaddow system table. How to retrieve decrypted value from pg_shaddow? Or at least, how to transfer value from text-box (MS Access) to Postgres so that Postgres can determine whether those two values are the same ?
Thanks in advance,
Zlatko
