Logging in to a locked internal account returned {"success":0,"errormsg":"'AnonymousUser' object has no attribute 'id'",...} in place of the 'Your account is locked' message, when the browser session still held a running Query Tool connection.

Cause: refusing a locked account logs the session out, which releases its connections and cancels a running Query Tool transaction first. Cancelling looks up current_user.id and decrypts the saved password with the user's key, but the session's user is not authenticated here: it is either none (the reported error) or the locked account itself, which Flask-Login no longer treats as authenticated (KeyManager.get() then returns a Response as the key, and decryption fails).

Fix: cancel_transaction() gives up on the cancel when no user is logged in, so the connection is only closed, and the logout carries on clearing the session's login and releasing its connections. The lockout itself is unchanged.

Test plan

  • New authenticate.tests.test_locked_account_open_connections covers both cases, checking the locked message, that the session is logged out and that its connections are released; it fails before the fix with the reported 500.
  • --pkg authenticate (114 passed), --pkg browser.tests (111 passed, 5 skipped) and --pkg tools.sqleditor (248 passed, 3 skipped) pass locally against PostgreSQL 18.

Closes #10693

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Unauthenticated requests to cancel a transaction now receive an unauthorized response before stored connection credentials are accessed.
  • Tests
    • Added coverage for locked-account login attempts with open Query Tool connections, checking login redirection and cleanup of session and connection state.

…ser session has open connections. pgadmin-org#10693

Refusing a locked account logged out the session's user, which releases
the session's server connections. When that user was not logged in (no
user, or the locked account itself, which is no longer authenticated),
releasing them failed and the login returned a JSON error in place of
the locked message. There is no one to log out then, so only log out an
authenticated user.

Closes pgadmin-org#10693

Walkthrough

The change adds an authentication check to cancel_transaction before stored-password decryption. It also adds a server-mode regression test for locked-account login with open Query Tool connections. The test covers sessions with and without a retained user ID.

Explanation

Issue #10693 requires the locked-account message instead of an AnonymousUser error. cancel_transaction() now stops before password decryption when current_user is unauthenticated. The regression test covers both an absent session user and a locked session user. It verifies the redirect, locked-account message, cleared _user_id, and released connections. The change does not alter the lockout decision.

Explanation

The connection change prevents the cleanup failure that blocks locked-account handling. The added test directly covers the linked issue and its connection-cleanup condition. No unrelated change is shown.

- Line 172: Update the logout flow guarded by current_user.is_authenticated so
session connection cleanup, including gc_own(), also runs for locked or
anonymous users; keep any user-specific logout hooks conditional where needed,
but do not let the authentication guard skip connection release.
- Line 172: Update `_refuse_locked_account()` so refusing a locked account
clears its retained session authentication state and releases that user’s server
connections, without calling `logout_user()` when `current_user` is anonymous.
Establish and reuse the existing connection-cleanup mechanism that can safely
release the retained user’s connections in this case.

…efusing its login. pgadmin-org#10693

Not logging out an unauthenticated session's user left the locked
account's session to come back once the account is unlocked, and left
its connections open. Log it out again, and instead stop cancelling a
running query from needing a logged-in user: without one the password
cannot be decrypted, so the connection is only closed.

Keep a backend operation active and assert its termination.

SELECT 1; completes before the locked-login cleanup, so this test does not exercise the cancellation behavior changed in cancel_transaction. Replace it with a repository-supported blocking operation, assert that the manager and connection exist before login, and verify that the PostgreSQL operation or transaction terminates after the locked-login path.

@coderabbitai On the nitpick about SELECT 1; in the test's setup: I'm leaving it as it is. Logging out goes through ServerManager.release(), which calls cancel_transaction() on every connected CONN: connection whether or not a query is still running, so the changed branch is reached without a long-running query. I checked by reverting the change to connection.py: both scenarios then fail with the reported 500s ('AnonymousUser' object has no attribute 'id', and 'Response' object is not subscriptable). A blocking query would only make the test slower and timing dependent.

The docstring coverage warning is also staying as it is, since the module and class carry docstrings and the other tests in authenticate/tests follow the same convention for setUp, runTest and helpers.

@dpage You’re right. ServerManager.release() calls cancel_transaction() for connected CONN: connections without checking whether a query is still running. Your reported revert check also supports both test scenarios. I withdraw the long-running query suggestion.

Understood on the docstrings. The saved coverage result remains a warning; I won’t request changes for it here.
