NimbostratusAuthentication type 7 not supported
Hello,
I am getting an "authentication type 7 is not supported" error when creating a postgres monitor to connect to a postgres database. Where are the drivers located on the F5 so I can confirm the jar version?
This is the error in the debug logs: DB DriverManager.getConnection failed: "The authentication type 7 is not supported. Check that you have configured the pg_hba.conf file to include the client's IP address or subnet, and that it is using an authentication scheme supported by the driver."
The DBA added the IP addresses of the F5s in the pg_hba.conf file but I'm still getting the same error. Thanks for any assistance or direction.
