Understanding how PostgreSQL handles user accounts, privileges, and authentication mechanisms is essential for maintaining a secure and well-managed database environment. In this blog post, we will delve into how PostgreSQL handles user authentication, password storage, and the implementing of changing password encryption methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">PostgreSQL User Management<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">PostgreSQL uses a role-based authentication system where users (or roles) can be granted specific privileges to access databases and perform operations. Let&#8217;s explore a practical example using PostgreSQL&#8217;s <code>pg_shadow<\/code> view, which provides insights into user account details, including password hashes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>postgres=# select usename,usesysid,passwd from pg_shadow;\n usename  | usesysid |                                                                passwd                                                                 \n----------+----------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n postgres |       10 | SCRAM-SHA-256$4096:E7aNSt5s+P8\/Y8wkhiUiig==$KzGClfCwduklVgojVIDm\/zTnIZ9k4+r9vpY2ul6NagU=:\/McQWOQi0AJ5aBRK5cmvSfQOquPZAl5mPOoEM4fCwgg=\n akhil    |    25884 | SCRAM-SHA-256$4096:N020XkU3CMC9tCvXrEwZMQ==$BWnkZUvu4pD9l+RKYsoEa+RdpzAk1tMQnOXZd2XdWvM=:t4qO9sJgxWfOEdyWL8tkGc3C6k91pxr4hkiX96klt98=\n(2 rows)<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the above query, <code>pg_shadow<\/code> displays user details including password hashes encrypted using <code>SCRAM-SHA-256<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Changing User Passwords<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Changing the password for role <code>akhil<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>mydb=# ALTER ROLE akhil PASSWORD 'newpassword';<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This command updates the password for the user <code>akhil<\/code> to <code>newpassword<\/code>. PostgreSQL automatically encrypts the password using the configured encryption method (<code>scram-sha-256<\/code> by default).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Managing Password Encryption Methods<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">PostgreSQL allows administrators to configure password encryption methods globally. Here\u2019s how we can alter the encryption method <\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>mydb=# ALTER SYSTEM set password_encryption to md5;\nALTER SYSTEM\nmydb=# SELECT pg_reload_conf();\n pg_reload_conf \n----------------\n t\n(1 row)\nmydb=# show password_encryption ;\n password_encryption \n---------------------\n md5\n(1 row)<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Changing the password encryption to <code>md5<\/code> alters how PostgreSQL encrypts user passwords.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Supported values are <code>scram-sha-256<\/code>, <code>md5<\/code> and <code>password<\/code> but it is recommended not to use the <code>password<\/code> option since the password would be sent in clear text and hence might be a security concern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Impact of not altering the Password<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even though , we have altered the password encryption from <code>SCRAM-SHA-256<\/code> to <code>md5<\/code> ,but the password will be still in the old hash i.e, <code>SCRAM-SHA-256<\/code> because it is encrypted before altering the password encryption method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>postgres=# show password_encryption;\n password_encryption \n---------------------\n md5\n(1 row)\n\npostgres=# select usename,usesysid,passwd from pg_shadow;\n usename  | usesysid |                                                                passwd                                                                 \n----------+----------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n postgres |       10 | SCRAM-SHA-256$4096:E7aNSt5s+P8\/Y8wkhiUiig==$KzGClfCwduklVgojVIDm\/zTnIZ9k4+r9vpY2ul6NagU=:\/McQWOQi0AJ5aBRK5cmvSfQOquPZAl5mPOoEM4fCwgg=\n akhil    |    25884 | SCRAM-SHA-256$4096:N020XkU3CMC9tCvXrEwZMQ==$BWnkZUvu4pD9l+RKYsoEa+RdpzAk1tMQnOXZd2XdWvM=:t4qO9sJgxWfOEdyWL8tkGc3C6k91pxr4hkiX96klt98=\n(2 rows)<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, we need to alter the password after changing the password encryption method. PostgreSQL will now save the new password in <code>md5<\/code> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>postgres=# ALTER ROLE akhil PASSWORD 'somepassword';\nALTER ROLE\npostgres=# select usename,usesysid,passwd from pg_shadow;\n usename  | usesysid |                                                                passwd                                                                 \n----------+----------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n postgres |       10 | SCRAM-SHA-256$4096:E7aNSt5s+P8\/Y8wkhiUiig==$KzGClfCwduklVgojVIDm\/zTnIZ9k4+r9vpY2ul6NagU=:\/McQWOQi0AJ5aBRK5cmvSfQOquPZAl5mPOoEM4fCwgg=\n akhil    |    25884 | md575cb1fb77702b4fdd2501914c6d6d1a3\n(2 rows)<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now ,we can see the password hash for user <code>akhil<\/code> is stored in <code>md5<\/code> encryption method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use-Case<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Assume you want to use a extension\/tool which supports the <code>md5<\/code> only and your password encryption method is <code>SCRAM-SHA-256<\/code> . In this case ,changing only password encryption to <code>md5<\/code> doesn&#8217;t allow us to access\/use the extension\/tool .We need to alter the password too after changing the encryption  as above. Recently , one of our beloved client has faced the same issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">PostgreSQL offers robust mechanisms for managing user authentication and password security. By understanding how PostgreSQL encrypts passwords and configuring encryption methods, administrators can ensure database security aligns with organizational policies and best practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Managing PostgreSQL users and passwords effectively not only enhances security but also ensures seamless operation and compliance with data protection standards. In this blog, we delved into how PostgreSQL handles user authentication, password storage, and the implementing of changing password encryption methods and also the impact and necessity of changing the password after altering the password encryption method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stay tuned for more info <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In PostgreSQL,
