User Story

As a PRTG User, I want to use scram-sha-256 aus authentication method for PostgreSQL, which should be possible with Npgsql.dll Version 3.2.7 or newer, but PRTG has installed the very old Npgsql.dll Version 2.0.11.91.

Details of User Story

Because authentication via MD5 is no more allowed due to BSI, we need scram-sha-256 as authentication for our PostgreSQL databases, but scram-sha-256 is not supported directly by PRTG. It seems that PRTG accesses PostgreSQL databases via Microsoft .NET (see https://www.paessler.com/manuals/prtg/postgresql_sensor) and the responsable library is PRTG/SensorSystem/Npgsql.dll. Login to PostgreSQL databases via scram-sha-256 should be possible with Npgsql.dll Version 3.2.7 (03.02.2018) or newer, but PRTG has installed the very old Npgsql.dll Version 2.0.11.91, which does not know about scram-sha-256 nothing at all. We are begging to install a newer Version of Npgsql.dll

Acceptance criteria

Installation of Npgsql.dll Version 3.2.7 or newer

Status

Open

md5 npgsql-dll postgresql scram scram-sha-256
