# PostgreSQL expiration date management functions
|
||||
|
||||
## Description
|
||||
|
||||
This project tries to find a way to allow users the management of the `VALID UNTIL` expiration clause by themself.
|
||||
All without granting `super` permissions and having a histoc of changes on a _pseudo-audit_ table
|
||||
|
||||
## PRE-requisites
|
||||
|
||||
As Amazon has modified Postgresql so you don't have access as a *real* superuser, the _dangerous_ function
|
||||
`change_valid_until` should run as the owner of the database (the user created when you deploy the database through AWS)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Instructions
|
||||
|
||||
##
|
||||
|
||||
### First deploy
|
||||
Deploy `passchanger.sql` on the desired cluster/database.
|
||||
|
||||
It will:
|
||||
* create a `dba` schema
|
||||
* create a `dba` role
|
||||
* create the `pwdhistory` table for audit purpouses
|
||||
* Grant the minimum permissions for this new role so the whole thing works
|
||||
* Create the 2 needed functions and grant permissions on them to `dba`
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Allowing users to use that functions
|
||||
Take the file `grants_to_grant.sql` and modify the username _dodger_ so it match the username that should have the permissions.
|
||||
Execute the grants on the cluster/database you have deployed `passchanger.sql`
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Changing password & extending expiration date
|
||||
|
||||
The user should just execute:
|
||||
```
|
||||
select dba.change_my_password('YOUR_NEW_GENERATED_PASSWORD_NOT_THIS_ONE') ;
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Helper script
|
||||
|
||||
See README.md
