Thread: Connecting to a DB through SSL

Connecting to a DB through SSL

From

Hi everybody,

 

I’m using Tomcat v4.1, JDBC 2.0.

 

I’ve succesfully configured my JDBC client and my (DB) server. I’ve successfully connected to it, tested different levels of authentication.

 

I want to use md5 or Kerberos for protecting the password sent through the network for establishing connections. What are the steps for accomplishing this? So far, I’ve downloaded JSSE’s jar files and deployed them appropriately (I guess).

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Regards,

Freddy.

md5 is easy. Just state md5 in your pg_hba.conf file. I'm not sure about
Kerberos.
