Re: SSL for JDBC: msg#00285

db.postgresql.jdbc

Subject: Re: SSL for JDBC

Tak,
 
i have modified a driver for this purpose. It works in a production system together with a v7.1.2 back end. I have tried to make a patch against the current jdbc cvs and back-end but i faced several problems as follows
 
the most significant objection is that the current back end uses TLSv1. Using TLSv1 the JSSE reference implementation(v1.0.3) from Sun Microsystems fails to carry out the complete handshakeing process. I rewrote several parts of the 7.3 back-end to use SSLv2/3 instead of TLSv1(openssl api) and a modified driver build from the current cvs (first week of jan. this year) was able to work correctly and connected to postgresql 7.3 too.
 
Read the $PGSQL_SRC/backend/libpq/README.SSL and $PGSQL_SRC/interfaces/libpq/fe-connect.c,fe-secure.c,fe-misc.c (v7.3) or $PGSQL_SRC/interfaces/libpq/fe-connect.c (v7.1.2) very carefully before any programming to study the method how a client asks the back end to use a secure channel. You have to implement the postgresql "handshake" process first in the driver then the SSL handshake. For details of message type formats of the postgresql see the documentation.
 
regards,
Istvan Nagy
