Re: RM2815: Relogin to pgAdmin from sqleditor/datadrid if session exprires - Mailing list pgadmin-hackers

Further details:

1. If session is expired and user performs any action from sqleditor that makes ajax call

then in ajax error call back user can check and handle login related error using code snippet.

if (pgAdmin.Browser.UserManagement.is_pga_login_required(xhr)) {
  return pgAdmin.Browser.UserManagement.pga_login();
}

Where is xhr is standard xhr or jqxhr object.

2. Similarly for connection lost (only maintenance db connection as we can recover or reconnect other

connections if maintenance db connection is alive). It will attempt to create/reconnect connection without

asking password (to handle passwordless connection, or saveed password  or password from pgpass file)

If connection to database still fails then it'll prompt for password.

Code snippet:

SqlEditorController.handle_connection_lost();

 once connection lost is detected one can call handle_connection_lost() to reconnect.

3. We maintain some additional data in session to maintain affinity between

each sqleditor/datagrid instance to backend database connection. However if session expires and user

re-loggins then we need to first restore affinity between sqleditor to backend database before we can start

using query tool.

Code snippet:

if(is_new_transaction_required(xhr)) {
  SqlEditorController.init_transaction();
}
