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.
