Navigate logical layers of code changes, visualize relationships, and explore their blast radius. WalkthroughThe change adds PostgreSQL 18 OAuth connection support. pgAdmin stores the selected OAuth provider, retrieves or exchanges tokens, and supplies bearer tokens through a libpq hook. The server connection flow supports OAuth modes and avoids password prompts for OAuth connection failures. ChangesPostgreSQL OAuth Connections

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to OAuth connections to PostgreSQL 18 may not receive the pgAdmin token when Psycopg uses a different libpq. On OAuth servers, query cancellation and connection reset can fail. A missing or old libpq can surface as a server error instead of a clear configuration message. Address these issues before merging.

The design needs a clear guarantee that the destination is trusted for that credential, especially for shared server registrations. Token exchange narrows the intended use, but its authorization depends on provider and database policies not established here. Retained concerns

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift
Give the OAuth token to every connection that pgAdmin opens, not only to connect().
The token lookup and oauth_token_context exist only in connect(). Two other methods in this class open new libpq connections without that context:
reset()(Lines 1509-1516) callspsycopg.connect(connection_string, ...).cancel_transaction()(Lines 1736-1742) opens a separate connection when the backend PIDs match. This happens when a user cancels a running query.
For a server with oauth_pgadmin_token_mode set to direct or exchange, _oauth_hook finds no token in the ContextVar. The hook then passes the request to the previous hook. That connection fails because it has no bearer token and no password, so query cancellation does not work on OAuth servers.
Move the token logic into a helper that returns a context manager. Use that helper in all three paths.
Proposed helper
def _oauth_context(self):
params = self.manager.connection_params or {}
mode = params.get("oauth_pgadmin_token_mode", "disabled")
if mode == "disabled":
return nullcontext()
try:
install_oauth_hook()
except RuntimeError as exc:
raise OAuthTokenError(str(exc)) from None
token = get_postgres_oauth_token(
mode, params.get("oauth_client_id"))
return oauth_token_context(token)Then wrap the psycopg.connect(...) calls in reset() and cancel_transaction() with with self._oauth_context():. Handle OAuthTokenError in the same way as psycopg.Error in both methods.

Convert hook installation failures into OAuthTokenError. Install the hook before you get the token.
install_oauth_hook() calls _get_libpq(). That function raises RuntimeError in these cases:
- libpq is missing.
- libpq is older than 18.
- libpq has no
PQsetAuthDataHook.
The except clause here catches only OAuthTokenError. The outer handler catches only psycopg.Error. The RuntimeError therefore leaves Connection.connect() as an exception.
ServerNode.connect catches all exceptions. Other callers of conn.connect() do not always do that, for example the Query Tool, View/Edit Data, and _restore_connections. Those callers return a 500 error, not a clear configuration message.
The current order also sends the token-exchange request before pgAdmin checks that the hook can be installed.

Psycopg 3 official documentation pq __impl__ version libpq loaded handle binary c python implementation
💡 Result:
Psycopg 3 exposes the active `psycopg.pq` implementation through `pq.__impl__`. It can be `'python'`, `'c'`, or `'binary'`; check it along with the loaded libpq version like this:
```python
import psycopg
from psycopg import pq
print(pq.__impl__) # 'python', 'c', or 'binary'
print(pq.version()) # version of the libpq currently loaded
print(pq.__build_version__) # libpq version used to build the C speedup, if available
```
The pure-Python implementation uses `ctypes` and system libpq. The `c` implementation is a Cython wrapper linked to system libraries; `binary` is a precompiled C implementation bundled with client libraries. Psycopg selects an available implementation automatically, or you can request one with `PSYCOPG_IMPL`. ([psycopg.org](https://www.psycopg.org/psycopg3/docs/api/pq.html))

Psycopg 3 _pq_ctypes.py libpq global variable loaded handle find_libpq_full_path source
💡 Result:
In current Psycopg 3 source, the ctypes wrapper is **`psycopg/pq/_pq_ctypes.py`**. It imports `find_libpq_full_path()` from `pq/misc.py`, calls it, then loads the result into the module-level handle `pq`:
```python
if not (libname := find_libpq_full_path()):
raise ImportError("libpq library not found")
pq = ctypes.cdll.LoadLibrary(libname)
```
That `pq` handle is then used to access libpq functions, e.g. `pq.PQlibVersion`. ([raw.githubusercontent.com](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/psycopg/psycopg/master/psycopg/psycopg/pq/_pq_ctypes.py))
`find_libpq_full_path()` is defined in **`psycopg/pq/misc.py`**. It uses `ctypes.util.find_library()` with platform-specific names (`libpq.dll` on Windows, `libpq.dylib` on macOS, and `pq` elsewhere). On macOS, if that lookup fails, it also tries `pg_config --libdir`. The function is cached. ([raw.githubusercontent.com](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/psycopg/psycopg/master/psycopg/psycopg/pq/misc.py))
So the “global variable” holding the loaded library is **`pq`** in `_pq_ctypes.py`; `find_libpq_full_path()` only locates and returns the library path/name.

Install the hook into Psycopg’s active libpq.
_get_libpq() loads a separate handle with ctypes.util.find_library("pq"), but the connection is created by Psycopg afterward. If Psycopg uses a different libpq, PQsetAuthDataHook() updates the unused handle. The PostgreSQL OAuth connection then receives no pgAdmin token and can fail or use libpq’s default OAuth handling.
Reject psycopg.pq.__impl__ == "binary", compare the loaded library with psycopg.pq.version(), and reuse Psycopg’s already-loaded handle for the "python" implementation. For "c", validate the actual loaded library identity before installing the hook. A version comparison alone is not sufficient because different library files can report the same version.

Summary
Add support for using the OAuth access token from the current pgAdmin login for PostgreSQL 18 OAuth authentication.
A new server connection parameter, OAuth pgAdmin token mode, controls how pgAdmin obtains the bearer token supplied to PostgreSQL:
disabled- Do not use the pgAdmin login token. This is the default.direct- Use the current pgAdmin OAuth access token directly.exchange- Exchange the current pgAdmin OAuth access token for a PostgreSQL/cluster-specific token before connecting.Related issues:
Implementation
The change integrates with the PostgreSQL 18 libpq OAuth authentication hook using
PQsetAuthDataHook().The bearer token is stored temporarily in a
ContextVarwhile the Psycopg connection is created. The process-global libpq callback reads the token from that context rather than accessing Flask request/session state directly. This works for both synchronous and asynchronous Psycopg connections, and the context is restored after the connection attempt completes or fails.When the pgAdmin OAuth access token is expired, or is close to expiration, pgAdmin refreshes it using the existing registered Authlib client.
For
exchangemode:oauth_client_idis passed as the target client identifier;token_endpointfrom the provider's OIDC metadata is used;The OAuth provider used during pgAdmin login is recorded in the session so that the same registered Authlib client can be reused for token refresh and token exchange.
The pgAdmin-specific
oauth_pgadmin_token_modeparameter is not passed to libpq.Tests
Added unit tests covering:
ContextVar;oauth_client_idin exchange mode.A minimal local Keycloak/PostgreSQL 18 example demonstrating
directmode is available here:https://github.com/simonj1337/pgadmin4-local-oidc-test
I have also manually tested the token-exchange flow against an OIDC provider.
To run only the new OAuth unit tests from the
web/directory:env PGADMIN_TESTING_MODE=1 python3 -c 'import unittest; import pgAdmin4; suite = unittest.defaultTestLoader.loadTestsFromName("pgadmin.utils.tests.test_pg_oauth2"); result = unittest.TextTestRunner(verbosity=2).run(suite); raise SystemExit(0 if result.wasSuccessful() else 1)'env PGADMIN_TESTING_MODE=1 python3 -c 'import unittest; import pgAdmin4; suite = unittest.defaultTestLoader.loadTestsFromName("pgadmin.utils.driver.psycopg3.tests.test_connection_oauth"); result = unittest.TextTestRunner(verbosity=2).run(suite); raise SystemExit(0 if result.wasSuccessful() else 1)'Known limitation / maintainer input requested
The current implementation obtains libpq using
ctypes.util.find_library("pq").This works with pgAdmin's source installation using
psycopg[c], where Psycopg links against the system libpq.However, pgAdmin's pip distribution installs
psycopg[binary]. When Psycopg uses its binary implementation, it uses a bundled libpq rather than the system libpq. In that configuration,ctypes.util.find_library("pq")may resolve to a separate system libpq instance. Installing the authentication hook into that instance would not affect the libpq instance used by Psycopg.A robust solution would need to install the hook into the same libpq instance used by Psycopg without relying on unstable Psycopg packaging internals. I would appreciate maintainer guidance on the preferred approach for supporting the pip/binary distribution.
There is also an existing Psycopg PR adding PostgreSQL 18 OAuth support:
psycopg/psycopg#1190
