Summary11973: Admin Login Fails on new installation Postgresql Databse Backend
Description

Install fresh as per installation instructions. Do not modify default admin information. Login as admin may fail with postgres backend

Steps To Reproduce

Typical install and attempt to login with default admin/password

Additional Information

I have seen this with Postgresql 9.1.13 on windows

Solution in DB creation script ensure that
Postgres output_bytea needs to be modified:

ALTER DATABASE limesurvey SET bytea_output = 'escape';

It appears as if default may be hex which causes invalid comparison string
Stored string will not validate unless bytea_output set to escape.

TagsNo tags attached.

I cannot reproduce that on Postgres 9.6. No matter what I set for bytea_output (hex or escaped) I can always log in successfully.
Can you try updating postgres to a newer version, please`? Maybe it is a bug in that particular version.

This is resolved in Version 3 because the password hash is now stored in a normal text field, not a binary field.
