SCRAM_KEY_LEN was a variable used in the internal routines of SCRAM to size a set of fixed-sized arrays used in the SHA and HMAC computations during the SASL exchange or when building a SCRAM password. This had a hard dependency on SHA-256, reducing the flexibility of SCRAM when it comes to the addition of more hash methods. A second issue was that SHA-256 is assumed as the cryptohash method to use all the time. This commit renames SCRAM_KEY_LEN to a more generic SCRAM_KEY_MAX_LEN, which is used as the size of the buffers used by the internal routines of SCRAM. This is aimed at tracking centrally the maximum size necessary for all the hash methods supported by SCRAM. A global variable has the advantage of keeping the code in its simplest form, reducing the need of more alloc/free logic for all the buffers used in the hash calculations. A second change is that the key length (SHA digest length) and hash types are now tracked by the state data in the backend and the frontend, the common portions being extended to handle these as arguments by the internal routines of SCRAM. There are a few RFC proposals floating around to extend the SCRAM protocol, including some to use stronger cryptohash algorithms, so this lifts some of the existing restrictions in the code. The code in charge of parsing and building SCRAM secrets is extended to rely on the key length and on the cryptohash type used for the exchange, assuming currently that only SHA-256 is supported for the moment. Note that the mock authentication simply enforces SHA-256. Author: Michael Paquier Reviewed-by: Peter Eisentraut, Jonathan Katz Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/Y5k3Qiweo/1g9CG6@paquier.xyz |

PostgreSQL Database Management System ===================================== This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL database management system. PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: https://www.postgresql.org/download/ See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions. The latest version of this software may be obtained at https://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
