Description

Since changing to qgis 3 qgis asks for the postgres login credentials multiple times when opening a project (see http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/QGIS-3-Postgres-Authentication-Issue-td5391047.html)

This occurs for old projects as well as for new ones, i tried with a clean profile and no extensions. tried in QGIS 3.6. but problem occured also in 3.2 and 3.4

qgis also asks for login credentials when working - but nothing happens, when i close the prompt window without entering anything

saving the pw with the project or authentication works but affects only layers added afterwards - is this supposed to work like that?

it seems the layer properties, that are stored in the project file, affect this. if I understand this correctly,they are set when the layer is added, but not changed afterwards, so no authentication or stored pw for "old" layers.

I want to prepare a project template for different user, who then can enter and store their login credentials, how can this be done?

[needsbackport] apply an alternative fix for #20826

Partly reverts c9e761649, which removed the synchronizatiion of
credential requests (eg. in a project that has multiple layers from the
same postgresql database without credentials) and led to multiple
concurrent requests for the same credentials.

Some of which were silently discarded, when events processed in the
dialogs exec() event loop tried to reinvoke the dialog and caused
invalid layers.

Authentications caused by network requests can still cause this.

The credential cache is now guarded by a separate mutex.

History

#1 Updated by Eron Lloyd almost 6 years ago

I can confirm that I'm also having this issue, both for 3.6.0 and 3.4.5 LTS for macOS. I made no other changes to the data sources or project file.

#2 Updated by Giedrius Vaivilavičius almost 6 years ago

I can confirm that I'm also having this issue, both for 3.6.0 and 3.4.5 LTS for Windows 10, Debian 9. It starts with version 3.4.5. With 3.4.4 everything works fine. We are downgrading to 3.4.4. But I hope it's temporary?

#3 Updated by Alessandro Pasotti almost 6 years ago

Maybe related to https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/9333 ?

#4 Updated by Giedrius Vaivilavičius almost 6 years ago

working in localhost same problem

#5 Updated by Gediminas B almost 6 years ago

File lUgzq.png added

Action: At first time when opening project (project has multiple layers from same DB) on qgis 3.4.5 and 3.6 versions (in Windows 10) needs credentials to connect to PostgreSQL DB.

Problem: But after that when connection is success with correct credentials the qgis repeatedly asks the same credentials again to connect to the same DB when the maps is zooming and moving and etc.

With qgis 2.18, 3.4.0, 3.4.1 versions all works fine and don't asking repeatedly credentials after first correct time.
Maybe someone knows whats is wrong?
