Re: [pgAdmin4][Patch]: To make session more secure in web mode

It is based on Flask-Login module but 

1) Flask-Login will mark a user as logged out when it detects that an existing session suddenly appears to come from a different originating IP address or a different browser. But it is unfortunate that Flask-Login does not enable this option by default.

2) It does not support it at all if you want to also use the browsers "remember me" functionality.

It's just a small wrapper module to overcome above scenarios, It is not most necessary thing to include in our project but it will improve the session security.

Hi Dave,

Tested it with PEM7 RestApi testsuite and it is working fine :)

The docs for this module say it's based on Flask-Login's session protect mechanism, and was intended to allow session protection in other scenarios. As we are already using Flask-Login, do we need this? 

See the Session Protection section on https://flask-login.readthedocs.io/en/latest/.
