Modifying users password in pg_shadow from php

Együd Csaba

Hi All,
I'm wonder if there is any possibility to modify a users password by
updating the pg_shadow table.
I'd like to ensure that when the user modifies his/her http password
(htpasswd) than his database password also changes. It is important to have
the same password for both services. I plan to do it from php.

Is there any way to do so?

Thans,
-- Csaba Együd

Why not use ALTER USER?

Manually authenticating users in pg_shadow

by: William Harazim | last post by:

Is there a way, having a user entered username and password, to select a single row from pg_shadow which is using md5 password encryption? I'm currently authenticating web users (.asp page) with our own user table that uses crypt() to store passwords. I'd like to remove our 'redundant' user table and use pg_shadow. The authentication function I'm using is included in the attachment... Thanks. <<auth_user.txt>> William Harazim,...

Salt in encrypted password in pg_shadow

by: David Garamond | last post by:

I read that the password hash in pg_shadow is salted with username. Is this still the case? If so, since probably 99% of all PostgreSQL has "postgres" as the superuser name, wouldn't it be better to use standard Unix/Apache MD5 hash instead? -- dave ---------------------------(end of broadcast)---------------------------

any way to remove a password?

by: Neil Berkman | last post by:

Is there any way to remove a password, specifically from the postgres user? I installed the 8.0 Windows version via the installer, and it forces you to set a password. I'd like to reset this so that there is no password (basically, to match the setup on several other machines - and no, for a number of reasons it's not feasible to just set passwords on those other machines). I know about the alter user command, but I haven't seen a way...
