To configure Webserver authentication, you must setup your webserver
|
|
|
|
|
|
with any authentication plug-in (such as Shibboleth, HTTP BASIC auth)
|
|
|
|
|
|
as long as it sets the REMOTE_USER environment variable.
|
|
|
|
|
|
To enable Webserver authentication for pgAdmin, you must configure the Webserver
|
|
|
|
|
|
settings in the *config_local.py* or *config_system.py* file (see the
|
|
|
|
|
|
:ref:`config.py <config_py>` documentation) on the system where pgAdmin is
|
|
|
|
|
|
installed in Server mode. You can copy these settings from *config.py* file
|
|
|
|
|
|
and modify the values for the following parameters:

To enable OAUTH2 authentication, you must include *webserver* in the list of values
|
|

|
for this parameter. you can modify the value as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* [‘webserver’]: pgAdmin will use only Webserver authentication.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* [‘webserver’, ‘internal’]: pgAdmin will first try to authenticate the user
|
|
|
|
|
|
through webserver. If that authentication fails, then it will return back

Master Password
|
|
|
|
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In the multi user mode, pgAdmin uses user's login password to encrypt/decrypt the PostgreSQL server password.
|
|
|
|
|
|
In the Webserver authentication, the pgAdmin does not store the user's password, so we need an encryption key to store
|
|
|
|
|
|
the PostgreSQL server password.
|
|
|
|
|
|
To accomplish this, set the configuration parameter MASTER_PASSWORD to *True*, so upon setting the master password,
|
|
|
|
|
|
it will be used as an encryption key while storing the password. If it is False, the server password can not be stored.
