Thread: SSL URL
pg 7.4.2-1 pg74.214.jdbc3.jar I'd like to use this jdbc driver with ColdFusion. However, CF seems to have hard coded their jdbc driver configuration to only accept some standard parameters. I can't find a way to pass SSLMODE=require to the darn thing. The CF manual also says that the use of CONNECTSTRING is not enabled for the jdbc interface. Go figure. Where would I tweak the source to set the jdbc driver to default to SSL? It's okay if this completely disables clear text mode. I took a quick grep through the pg source and didn't see an obvious place, other than the backend server. In poking through the contents of the jar file, I see ssl and javax/net, but don't see these referenced in the pg source. Sorry, I'm just not a Java guy (buries head). I'd rather get native SSL support than use stunnel. TIA Phil

Surely there must be a way of specifying parameters to it. Could you
explain how you are currently establishing the connection?

If this is the only way to do it, then in the 7.4 source tree see
org/postgresql/jdcb1/AbstractJdbc1Connection.java in the openConnection
method:
if (info.getProperty("ssl") != null && Driver.sslEnabled())
{
useSSL = true;
}
else
{
useSSL = false;
}

Thanks!
I don't have time to test it myself with pg, but in general you can
append any parameters to the
connection URL. I don't know how universal it is, but you can even pass
username and password
in the connection URL instead of with separate settings. It basically
goes URL + ; + name=val....
like
jdbc:hsqldb:hsql://localhost/enrollments;ifexists=true
Hopefully CF will let you specify the connection URL itself any way you
want, since it is
up to the DB vendor what URL formats they support.

Doesn't look like CF supports anything but what they hardcoded into
their jdbc config:
Attribute validation error for tag CFQUERY.
The tag does not allow the attribute(s) SSLMODE. The valid attribute(s)
are BLOCKFACTOR,CACHEDAFTER,CACHEDWITHIN,CONNECTSTRING,
DATASOURCE,DBNAME,DBPOOL,DBSERVER,DBTYPE,DEBUG,
MAXROWS,NAME,PASSWORD,PROVIDER,PROVIDERDSN,SQL,
TIMEOUT,USERNAME.
Then, reading the manual, they say that connectstring is disabled for
JDBC drivers. Indeed, anything I type into connectstring is completely
ignored by CF.

I changed false to true and recompiled. The resulting postgresql.jar
file trips the following errors. I'm using a self signed certificate for
an internal development box. I used the Sun sdk version 1.4.2_05 because
ColdFusion's jre is 1.4.2.
