Suggest edits

To use certificate authentication without a password:

  1. Convert the client certificate to DER format.
$ openssl x509 –in postgresql.crt -out postgresql.crt.der -outform der
  1. Convert the client key to DER format.
$ openssl pkcs8 -topk8 -outform DER -in postgresql.key -out postgresql.key.pk8 –nocrypt
  1. Copy the client files (postgresql.crt.der, postgresql.key.pk8) and root certificate to the client machine and use the following properties in your Java program to test it:
String url = "jdbc:edb://snvm001:5444/edbstore";
     Properties props = new Properties();
     props.setProperty("user","enterprisedb");
     props.setProperty("ssl","true");
     props.setProperty("sslmode","verify-full");
     props.setProperty("sslcert","postgresql.crt.der");
     props.setProperty("sslkey","postgresql.key.pk8");
     props.setProperty("sslrootcert","root.crt");
  1. Compile the Java program and test it.
$ java -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=mystore -classpath .:./edb-jdbc18.jar pg_ssl public
