Recommended action: Upgrade the client library (libpq >= 10, a current JDBC/driver). Only as a temporary measure for legacy clients: set that role's password with password_encryption=md5 and an md5 pg_hba rule (MD5 is deprecated). Option: Upgrade the client driver/libpq [evidence: official_recommended_action] Applies when: See record scope. Steps: 1. Check the client library version (e.g. `psql --version`, driver version in lockfile) 2. Upgrade to a SCRAM-capable release and reconnect Expected: Command proceeds without the error. Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
