Description:

We are encountering an issue with connecting to a PostgreSQL target via Warpgate when using in-browser authentication.

Problem:
In the Warpgate UI, for the PostgreSQL target, only the in-browser authentication option is available. The UI mentions:

“Since the PostgreSQL protocol requires a password, the user can just supply an empty password when connecting. Not all clients will show the 2FA auth prompt. The user might need to log in to the Warpgate UI to see the prompt.”

However, when we try connecting with psql by providing an empty password, we receive the following error:

psql: error: connection to server at "example.com" (3.x.x.x, port 55432 failed : fe_sendauth: no password supplied )

Notes:
We are already logged into the Warpgate web UI via SSO only — we do not use passwords to log in.
