Using SSL to encrypt the network connection between a JDBC client and a server
The solidDB JDBC driver supports SSL encrypted communications by using the Java Secure Sockets Extension (JSSE). Secure communications for solidDB JDBC driver require Java version 1.7 or higher.
To use TLS with JDBC clients, the OpenSSL libraries must be installed on the solidDB server, see Installing and configuring the OpenSSL toolkit.
In order to establish encrypted communications by using the solidDB JDBC driver, set the solid_use_tls JDBC connection property to yes (the default value is no):
The property can be specified in either of the following ways:
▪ directly embedded in the DriverManager connection URL:
Connection c = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:solid://localhost:1315/dba/dba?solid_use_tls=yes")
▪ specified in a connection property object:
java.util.Properties prop = new java.util.Properties();
prop.put("solid_use_tls", "yes");
DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:solid://localhost:1315/dba/dba", prop);
If you are using self-signed or CA certificates to secure your network connection, you must set additional properties, see Using trusted server certificates in the solidDB JDBC client.
