If the security of this solution is less than what giving a password to a superuser account would be then we might as well do that instead. If this looks good, I'll work on coding something up.I'd almost have the sysadmins run a command on one of the app servers that has workflow like this 1) pre upgrade check 2) Prompt the user to run a command on the database server, cut and paste. 3) click OK or agree or something 4) Perform upgrade 5) If possible, have the upgrade script remove the user created in step 2, otherwise prompt 6) win. I think those steps work with the steps you outlined above. I'm curious what others think?
The additions sound reasonable:: app2 $ migrate-runner -h db2 -d fas2 /usr/share/fas/database This script must create a temporary db user, fas2temp on db2. That user will have permission to modify anything in the fas2 database.If you stop this script in the middle of running you will want to remove the created user from the db.
To continue, enter your password for sudo on db2: Running: ssh db2 pg_temp_user --verbose --create fas2 pg_temp_user: checking for db fas2... yes [sudo -u postgres psql select from pg_users where name = 'fas2temp'] pg_temp_user: checking for existing fas2temp... no[if yes, then abort and have the admin remove the account, check for other issues, etc]
pg_temp_user: generating password... success pg_temp_user: create fas2temp... success[sudo -u postgres cat temppasswdfile | sudo -u postgres createuser fas2temp -P -E && sudo -u postgres rm temppasswdfile || sudo -u postgres rm temppasswdfile]
