Re: Webappication and PostgreSQL login roles

This would be a possible way. Now the question is which algorithm implementation of md5 PostgreSQL uses...

You could originally connect to the database as some kind of power user. 
Check the password against the pg_shadow view (you would need to md5 your 
password somehow) and then do a SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION (or SET ROLE) to 
change your permissions.  Not sure how secure this would be but it's the way 
I would try.

Hi,

thanks for your answer. I cant use the username/password in my DSN because 
I don't connect directly via JDBC to the database. I use hibernate for all 
database actions. The username and password has to be stored in the 
hibernate configuration file...

Bye,
Thorsten

Can you not use the username/password as part of the DSN?
