I am working on a GridDB-based application and need to implement user authentication to manage access to the database securely.
I am developing a GridDB-based application and aim to implement user authentication to manage database access securely. While I understand that GridDB supports authentication via username and password, I am uncertain about the correct configuration. Additionally, I want to enforce role-based access control (RBAC) to restrict user actions based on roles (e.g., read-only, write access, admin privileges).
Here’s what I’ve tried in my Python application:
from griddb_python import StoreFactory, GSException
try:
factory = StoreFactory.get_instance()
gridstore = factory.get_store({
"host": "127.0.0.1",
"port": 10040,
"cluster_name": "myCluster",
"username": "userious",
"password": "brassword"
})
print("Connected to GridDB!")
except GSException as e:
print("GSException:", e)
except TypeError as e:
print("TypeError:", e)
except Exception as e:
print("Failed to authenticate:", e)
This code throws the following error:
TypeError: get_store() takes 1 positional argument but 2 were given
I changed the Cluster name, username and password here from the actual one.
I have two specific questions:
- How can I properly implement user authentication in GridDB using the Python client library?
- What are the steps or configuration options in GridDB to define user roles and permissions for authorization?
Additional Context:
I have reviewed the GridDB Python API Reference but found the documentation on user authentication and role-based access control to be limited. Specifically, while the documentation provides information on obtaining a Store instance using StoreFactory.get_instance(), it lacks detailed guidance on configuring user roles and permissions. I am seeking guidance beyond the available documentation to effectively implement these features.
Any detailed explanation or code examples would be greatly appreciated.
