In the config sample provided in another mail you have configured master *user*
passdb but
in this mail you talk about master password passdb? which one it is?
I think for what you are trying to achieve, master password auth is more
suitable. So change your
passdb to something like this:
passdb {
driver = static
args = password=masterpassword
}
simple as that.
