If this is a new app you may want to replace
auth = Auth(baza, hmac_key=Auth.get_or_create_key())
with
auth = Auth(baza)
as it will be faster and same security because latest Auth has built-in
salting.
About your problem. You cannot complete let the user specify it. You must
have a default and a set of default values:
database = session.get('database','default_database')
The you can have a form that stores the one they want into session.database
