ERROR: BareosFdPluginPostgres "Password Authentication MD5"

[stefan....@harnet.de]

Hello, my dears,
I upgraded my debian server from version 10 to 10. I also updated Barions to version 22.0.2. Then the "PotrgeSQL plugin fails with the following error message:

How do I tell the server the MD5 password authentication?

Many thanks in advance for your support.

Hi Stefan,

im Moment ist es nur über die Umgebungsvariable PGPASSWORD möglich. Ich arbeite an einer Version, die beides unterstützt: Passwort-Authentifizierung und PG15.

For now, it is only possible via the environment-variabe PGPASSWORD. I am working on that issue in a version, that supports both: password authentication and PG15.
