Re: Enable HTTPS on pgAdmin in Server Mode

Thanks for the reply, Yogesh

But you need to run a separate webserver like Apache to configure this?

When I set 'SERVER_MODE = True' in pgAdmin config, I am able to access pgAdmin from a browser by <hostname>:<port>

So I asumed that it was running an embedded webserver and was hoping to configure SSL settings directly in pgAdmin instead of having to add further complexity (webserver, reverse proxy etc).

But that is not possible?

Hi Morten,

You need to adjust settings with your webserver configuration to setup SSL enabled pgadmin. Here is configuration for apache webserver with SSL. 

<VirtualHost *:443>

WSGIDaemonProcess pgadmin processes=1 threads=25 python-home=/usr/pgadmin4/venv

WSGIScriptAlias / /usr/pgadmin4/web/pgAdmin4.wsgi

<Directory /usr/pgadmin4/web/>

WSGIProcessGroup pgadmin

WSGIApplicationGroup %{GLOBAL}

Require all granted

</Directory>

ServerName pgadmin.yourdomain.com

SSLEngine on

SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/certificate/apache-certificate.crt

SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/certificate/apache.key

</VirtualHost>

You can mention the redirect url <https://pgadmin.yourdomain.com> for configuration above.

Thanks,

Hi

I am working on deployment of pgAdmin 4 as part of a postgreSQL package in our enterprise environment.

I have currently installed pgAdmin in server mode on a Windows Server, but running into problems configuring OAUTH2 authentication. I have enabled Azure AD/Entra ID authentication based on the following guide by Asmita

How to Configure OAuth 2.0 with Azure AD in pgAdmin4 | by Asmita Thapliyal | Medium

But redirect URI in Azure app registration requires a HTTPS link and I have not found a way to specify a server certificate (currently selfsigned for testing purposes).

I have not been able to find anything on config file and only references I have found online involves NGINX or similar, but I would prefer not introducing further complications if possible.

Know of any way to natively enabling HTTPS connection to pgAdmin?
