I am working on oauth poc with Postgres, here the flow is: Authentication Code with pkce
As per my knowledge, Postgres doesn't support Oauth2 authentication to connect a database server directly, of course the other way is you can configure PEM authentication and then use it.
In this flow, I need to configure or make changes to PgAdmin to
1. Pass additional parameters in the connection string like below for psql: ./psql -U mahendrakars@microsoft.com -d 'dbname=postgres oauth_client_id=xxxx oauth_client_secret=xxx oauth_flow_type=auth_code'
Did this work?
I am not sure how to pass these params in PgAdmin or configure it to pass them.
2. PgAdmin needs to listen on redirection url so that the user can sign in and obtain the auth_code. 3 . PgAdmin needs to send the auth_code to libpq during the oauth flow. 4. Libpq sends the refresh_token to PgAdmin ( and used in future to get the access_token in which case PgAdmin sends it to libpq).
Can you suggest what would be the best way to do this?
We have configured the Oauth2 authentication in pgAdmin only for login to the pgAdmin app, not for the database.
You can check the Oauth module but my suggestion is that, first you try with a simple python script for your POC, after that you can try with pgAdmin.
