NAME

pgagroal-vault - Simple vault that hosts an HTTP server to handle user frontend password requests

SYNOPSIS

pgagroal-vault [ -c CONFIG_FILE ] [ -u USERS_FILE ]

DESCRIPTION

pgagroal-vault is a basic HTTP server designed to handle special HTTP GET requests for retrieving pgagroal user passwords. When a client sends an HTTP GET request to http://<host_name>:<port>/users/<frontend_user> , the vault extracts <frontend_user> from the URL. It then connects to the pgagroal main process to fetch the current <frontend_password> corresponding to the <frontend_user> .

If the vault successfully fetches the <frontend_password> , it responds with an HTTP status code 200 and includes <frontend_password> in the response body. Otherwise, the server responds with an HTTP 404 error indicating that the password for the specified user could not be found.

Note: For pgagroal-vault to operate correctly, the management port of the pgagroal server must be open and functional.
