Hello,

thank you everyone for the answers. I went through and I forgot add one
thing. The web-app is frontend, thus basically PL/PGSQL launcher and all
changes are audited, so common login is unwelcome.

This is the approach I am/will be heading to. Having the cookie with login
and password encrypted on user side, HTTPS connection, and what was said
in previous emails about not storing credentials in cookies any ideas of
weak sides?  Moreover if parts of decryption keys will be unique to the
sessions and stored in session on a server?

PS. Appologies for going slightly OT as this is becoming more general than
pgsql.

Thank you,
Bohdan
