# 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
|
|
|
|
## 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') ;
|
|
```
|
