Re: Password authorization

Thanks Holger,
Yes I know about this change.
But I am looking to work on 'Postgres Database User Authentication' . But
it looks like postgres has some limitations related to user authentication
and it's expiration.

So I am looking for a good approach in postgres , like in Oracle we have !

Thanks.
