For a server configured to save its password, entering a rotated password at the reconnect/password-prompt dialog appeared to work for the current connection but never actually replaced the stale saved ciphertext, causing an infinite re-prompt loop on every subsequent connection (e.g. opening the Query Tool). Two gaps caused this: 1. Query Tool's "already connected" reconnect path (sqleditor.connect_server) cached the freshly entered password on the in-memory server manager only, never writing it back to the stored server record. 2. The main "Connect to Server" flow (ServerNode.connect()) only persisted a freshly entered password to the server's stored ciphertext when the current request's save_password flag was true. But the password-prompt dialog shown on a failed connect doesn't resend the server's existing save_password setting -- it only reports its own checkbox state, which defaults to unchecked -- so a server already configured to save its password never got its stale ciphertext replaced. Separately, the driver's in-memory manager.password fix was never persisted via manager.update_session(); Driver.managers is an in-process cache, so in a multi-worker deployment (e.g. OpenShift/Helm) the next request can land on a different worker, which restores the stale pre-fix manager from the session and loses the corrected password. Fix all three: persist the new password to the (owned or shared) server record from the Query Tool reconnect path when save_password is set and allowed; treat save_password as true in the main connect flow whenever the server already has it enabled, not just when the current request's flag says so; and call manager.update_session() after a successful connect that used a freshly entered password. Fixes pgadmin-org#10128
- Move the manager.update_session() call for a corrected password into the driver's connect() (right after manager._update_password()) so every connect path benefits, not just ServerNode.connect.

- Include save_password in the Query Tool's own 428 password-prompt payloads (initialize_viewdata, _init_sqleditor) so the dialog seeds its checkbox correctly there too, not just from ServerNode.connect. - Clear a server's stored save_password/password when the user explicitly submits save_password=false for a server that had one saved, instead of only ever handling the "save" case. A new save_password_provided flag keeps legacy callers that omit the field from having a saved credential wiped out. - Validate the reconnect-path password before caching it on the manager/session at all, not just before persisting it to the DB -- a typo must not replace a working in-memory/session password either. - Fix pycodestyle E123 in the new test file by switching stacked `with` clauses to nested `with` blocks.

Thanks for working through Ashesh's review; the driver-level update_session(), the validation before caching and the tests all look good. There's one regression I'd like fixed before this goes in, plus a few smaller things.
1. A prompt that doesn't report save_password now clears a saved password.
ConnectServerContent now seeds the checkbox from data.save_password and always posts save_password, even when false. That works for the prompts that include the field (the browser's connect response and the two in sqleditor/__init__.py), but the ERD tool's 428 response (tools/erd/__init__.py, around line 612) doesn't include it. There the checkbox starts unticked, ERDTool posts save_password=false to sqleditor.connect_server, and once the entered password validates, _cache_manager_password_from_request treats that as an explicit opt-out and calls _clear_saved_password(). So simply entering a password at an ERD prompt deletes the user's saved password, which is the opposite of what this PR is for.
Please fix it on the client, so that every current and future caller is covered, by only sending the field when the server told the dialog its state or the user ticked the box:
if (data.save_password !== undefined || formData.save_password) {
postFormData.append('save_password', formData.save_password);
}Adding "save_password" to the ERD response as well would make the checkbox show the right state there too. ConnectServerContent is also used by Schema Diff, the Workspaces ad-hoc connection dialog and the Query Tool's new connection dialog, so please check that each of those either supplies save_password or is covered by the guard above.
2. Tests for the explicit opt-out. Nothing exercises _clear_saved_password() or the explicit-false branch. Please add request-level tests asserting that posting save_password=false with a valid password clears save_password and password on both an owned server and a non-owner's SharedServer row, and that a request without the field leaves a saved password alone (which would have caught the issue above).
3. Shared servers (minor). get_server() returns the owner's Server row, so for a non-owner of a shared server, the new "save_password": bool(server.save_password) in initialize_viewdata and _init_sqleditor reflects the owner's setting rather than the current user's. Using _get_save_password_target(server).save_password there would make the checkbox match the record that will actually be updated.
4. PR description. Point 2 still says the backend treats save_password as true whenever the server already has it enabled, which was replaced by seeding the checkbox in the dialog. Please bring the description up to date, and reply to Ashesh's review so he knows it's ready for another look.
…word - ConnectServerContent only posts save_password when the server reported the current setting or the user ticked the box, so a prompt that doesn't know the state (e.g. ERD) can no longer trigger an opt-out. - Report save_password in the ERD 428 response. - Seed the Query Tool prompts' save_password from the record that will actually be updated (the user's SharedServer row for non-owners). - Add tests for the explicit opt-out (owned and shared) and for the field-omitted case, plus a ConnectServerContent spec.

Thanks for the update, and for the end-to-end check. Everything from my last review is sorted: the ERD prompt and the client guard, the shared-server row, the opt-out tests and the description. Ashesh's points look covered too.
One thing I'd like changed before this goes in:
A disabled "Save Password" checkbox can now save the password. ConnectServerContent seeds the checkbox from data.save_password even when data.allow_save_password is false, so it shows ticked but disabled and posts save_password=true. Neither ServerNode.connect nor _cache_manager_password_from_request checks the session's allow_save_password, so the password gets saved. That flag is false in server mode with OAuth2/Kerberos/webserver auth and no master password, where the encryption key only lasts for the session; the newly saved password then can't be decrypted at the next login, which is the problem in #10140/#10174. Could you seed the checkbox as Boolean(data?.allow_save_password && data?.save_password) and only send save_password when data.allow_save_password is true? A session.get('allow_save_password') check before _persist_saved_password() would be a nice extra safeguard.
Two small ones:
- The comment in
ServerNode.connectaround line 1913 still says the dialog "always sends its state". Since your last change it only sends it when the server reported it or the box was ticked, so it's worth rewording. - In
TestPersistSavedPasswordSharedNonOwner,assertNotEqual(owner_server.password, b'enc-pwd')always passes on aMagicMock. Givingowner_servera realpassword=b'owner-enc'and asserting it's unchanged, as the clear test does, would make it check something.
For a server configured to save its password, entering a rotated password at the reconnect/password-prompt dialog appeared to work for the current connection but never replaced the stale saved ciphertext, causing an infinite re-prompt loop on every subsequent connection (e.g. opening the Query Tool).
Three gaps caused this:
