Dmitry Ivanov 1d9d7c02db [proxy] Don't forward empty options to compute nodes
Clients may specify endpoint/project name via `options=project=...`,
so we should not only remove `project=` from `options` but also
drop `options` entirely, because connection pools don't support it.

Proxy

Proxy binary accepts --auth-backend CLI option, which determines auth scheme and cluster routing method. Following backends are currently implemented:

  • console new SCRAM-based console API; uses SNI info to select the destination project (endpoint soon)
  • postgres uses postgres to select auth secrets of existing roles. Useful for local testing
  • link sends login link for all usernames

Using SNI-based routing on localhost

Now proxy determines project name from the subdomain, request to the round-rice-566201.somedomain.tld will be routed to the project named round-rice-566201. Unfortunately, /etc/hosts does not support domain wildcards, so I usually use *.localtest.me which resolves to 127.0.0.1. Now we can create self-signed certificate and play with proxy:

openssl req -new -x509 -days 365 -nodes -text -out server.crt -keyout server.key -subj "/CN=*.localtest.me"

start proxy

./target/debug/proxy -c server.crt -k server.key

and connect to it

PGSSLROOTCERT=./server.crt psql 'postgres://my-cluster-42.localtest.me:1234?sslmode=verify-full'
