Thread: reg. running pgadmin in server mode and automatic login

hi, 

How can I run pgadmin4 in server mode and still have automatic login?

I have currently managed to run it in server mode by adding config_local.py in /web of the dmg I downloaded. 

My use case is that I develop using pgadmin and would not like to switch between apps and hence want pgadmin running as a server so that I can access it in the browser. Am the only user of this server mode and so would like it to automatically login. 

Thank you,

Sindhu

hi, Aditya

Hi Sindhu,

You can open pgAdmin normally, go to File->Runtime->View log and find and copy the Application Server URL like: http://127.0.0.1:51250/?key=5c171d34-c329-4288-9db6-f3047302f5e4.

Until you close pgAdmin, the url will work in any browser. No changes need to be made.

I do not see the Runtime menu option under File. What am I missing?

hi, 

The url (http://127.0.0.1:5050/?key=23ef84fc-f2c9-4b80-ab29-f55246800cca) changes every time pgadmin4 app is run. I do not want this. I want to be able to make:

1.pgadmin4 to run in server mode always (done by adding config)

2. pgadmin4 to have automatic login when running as server. 

For 2, I took a look at the code inside in /web dir, it should be possible to make a change in the routing logic to have server take "DESKTOP_USER" credentials. I can't tell exactly where to make this change though.
