That item is about changing the password through psycopg2, which does
require work from the client software (if you don't want to send the
password itself to the server). But I am just talking about using an
existing password to log on, which is purely a function of libpq and
shouldn't require any changes from the client. When I log in from python
scripts via psycopg2 or from perl with DBD::Pg, old versions of psycopg2 or
perl work fine with a SCRAM password as long as the latest libpq is loaded.
However, I've only tested python direct usage and perl from Linux, and only
tested pgAdmin from Windows. So it could be an OS issue. I've tried using
ListDLLs to see which dll pgAdmin is loading to make sure it is not finding
the wrong one, but it says it doesn't have permission to inspect the DLL
for that program, so I don't know what else to check from Windows.
Cheers,
Jeff
