Implement login cookie, its verification, and logout At first i thought that i would need to implement sessions, the ones that keep small files onto the disk, to know which user is talking to the server, but then i realized that, for now at least, i only need a very large number, plus the email address, to be used as a lookup, and that can be stored in the user table, in a separate schema. Had to change login to avoid raising exceptions when login failed because i now keep a record of login attemps, and functions are always run in a single transaction, thus the exception would prevent me to insert into login_attempt. Even if i use a separate procedure, i could not keep the records. I did not want to add a parameter to the logout function because i was afraid that it could be called from separate users. I do not know whether it is possible with the current approach, since the settings variable is also set by the same applications; time will tell.

Add a function to set request settings and the role I did not like the idea that it was the Go server who should set values such as request.user or set the role, because this is mostly something that only the database wants for itself, such as when calling logout. I am also planning to use these setings for row security with the user’s id, that the Go application has no need for, but with the current approach i would need to return it from check_cookie so that it can return it back to the database when acquiring the connection. I would have used the same function to set the settings and the role, but security definer functions—obviously in retrospect—can not set the role, because then could switch to any role of the user that defined the function, not the roles they are member of. Thus, a new function. I did not want to do that every time i needed the database connection within the same request, because it would perform the same operations each time—it is the same cookie, afterall—, so new connections are request scoped and passed along in the context.

Add a function to set request settings and the role I did not like the idea that it was the Go server who should set values such as request.user or set the role, because this is mostly something that only the database wants for itself, such as when calling logout. I am also planning to use these setings for row security with the user’s id, that the Go application has no need for, but with the current approach i would need to return it from check_cookie so that it can return it back to the database when acquiring the connection. I would have used the same function to set the settings and the role, but security definer functions—obviously in retrospect—can not set the role, because then could switch to any role of the user that defined the function, not the roles they are member of. Thus, a new function. I did not want to do that every time i needed the database connection within the same request, because it would perform the same operations each time—it is the same cookie, afterall—, so new connections are request scoped and passed along in the context.

Use user’ß email for auth funcs and return cookie on email change This is for security, just in case two users have the same cookie, althought it is unlikely, but nevertheless less guessable. I also need to refresh the cookie when the user changes their email address, because it is liked toghether. It does mean that it will logout from everywhere else, but i can not do anything about that.

Implement login cookie, its verification, and logout At first i thought that i would need to implement sessions, the ones that keep small files onto the disk, to know which user is talking to the server, but then i realized that, for now at least, i only need a very large number, plus the email address, to be used as a lookup, and that can be stored in the user table, in a separate schema. Had to change login to avoid raising exceptions when login failed because i now keep a record of login attemps, and functions are always run in a single transaction, thus the exception would prevent me to insert into login_attempt. Even if i use a separate procedure, i could not keep the records. I did not want to add a parameter to the logout function because i was afraid that it could be called from separate users. I do not know whether it is possible with the current approach, since the settings variable is also set by the same applications; time will tell.
