Connect session in PostgreSQL with SailsJS - postgresql

Question

I have a personal project in SailsJS, Passport-Local and PostgreSQL. I managed to get connection and save users in PostgreSQL DB. But I have big problem with session storing. From what I know SailsJS is using Connect to get it done.
Previous working code for MongoDB:
connections: {
prodMongodbServer: {
adapter: 'sails-mongo',
host: 'localhost',
port: 27017,
//user: '',
//password: '',
database: 'sails-auth'
}
},
session: {
adapter: 'mongo',
host: 'localhost',
port: 27017,
db: 'sails-auth',
collection: 'sessions'
}
My (working) connection to PostgreSQL:
connections: {
somePostgresqlServer: {
adapter: 'sails-postgresql',
host: 'localhost',
port: 5432,
user: 'postgres',
password: 'Password1',
database: 'sails-auth'
}
},
And the code I have problem with:
session: {
adapter: 'connect-pg-simple',
host: 'localhost',
port: 5432,
user: 'postgres',
password: 'Password1',
db: 'sails-auth'
}
I've installed connect-pg-simple, executed SQL code but when I am starting sails app I get an error:
$ sails lift
info: Starting app...
Init Express midleware
Failed to prune sessions: password authentication failed for user "myPcUser"

I thought that it may be beetter to use connect-pg, but it requires so many dependecy that I stayed with simple version. Anyone know what this problem is about? Im on windows so its weird that it have problem with my PC User...
Or maybe someone have some solution for using PostgreSQL for users, etc and Mongo for sessions. For what I've tested Passport doesnt allow to do that (user can sign up but can't sign in)

Answer 1

Perhaps you can fix this error open PostgreSQL client authentication configuration file:
/var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_hba.conf
and change:
local all all trust
host all 127.0.0.1/32 trust
Save and close the file. Restart Postgresql server:
service postgresql restart

To make it work
Install the connect-pg-simple node module: $ npm install connect-pg-simple
In session.js define the adapter and connection string:
adapter: 'connect-pg-simple',
conString: 'postgres://user:pass#host:5432/dbname',
3) run the SQL commands on file node_modules/connect-pg-simple/table.sql to create the table for sessions. :
CREATE TABLE "session" (
"sid" varchar NOT NULL COLLATE "default",
"sess" json NOT NULL,
"expire" timestamp(6) NOT NULL
)
WITH (OIDS=FALSE);
ALTER TABLE "session" ADD CONSTRAINT "session_pkey" PRIMARY KEY ("sid") NOT DEFERRABLE INITIALLY IMMEDIATE;
CREATE INDEX "IDX_session_expire" ON "session" ("expire");

Answer 3

I used for that sails-pg-session.
The information about sessions must be stored in config/session.js:
adapter: 'sails-pg-session',
database: 'dbname',
host: 'localhost',
user: 'dbuser',
password: 'dbpasswd',
port: 5432
Hope it helps
