Using SHA512 for password encryption.

[Ambalavanar]

I'm getting this error message:

The sending password for ‘’, encryption algorithm MD5 does not match the effective server configured encryption algorithm SHA512", "File"=>"/scratch_a/release/svrtar21996/vbuild/vertica/Basics/ClientAuthentication.cpp", "Line"=>"410", "Routine"=>"password_verify"}> Completed 500 Internal Server Error in 17700ms (ActiveRecord: 0.0ms)

SHA512 is not supported by this library currently. I am happy to accept patches, but am unlikely work on this myself

Thanks for your quick response.

+1 for this feature, for a fresh 8.x cluster I had to downgrade to MD5 hash algorithm.
