title: MD5 hashed database password in api properties file
body: <p>I have a rest api which talks to Postgres, right now in the properties file of the api we are hardcoding the DB password.
  so we thought when a user role is created in postgres we can use Md5 hash value(or any other encrypted value which should be decrypted by postgres) for the password...and we can use that value(hased value) in api property file instead of hardcoded one.</p>
  
  <p>My question is can we use that Md5 hash value in api dev property file and when the password is sent over network and tries to connect to postgres Will it (postgres) decrypt to actual password and allows the user to connect to DB without authentication failed?????</p>
