# 6.3. Using different methods for frontend and backend authentication

Since Pgpool-II V4.0 it possible to use different authentication for client application and backend PostgreSQL servers. For example, a client application can use `scram-sha-256` to connect to Pgpool-II which in turn can use `trust` or `md5` authentication to connect to PostgreSQL backend for the same session.
