Setting Up Authentication between Client Applications and TDV Server over JDBC
Client applications, including Studio, can connect to TDV Server over JDBC connections. For secure communications, you need to define secure authentication.
The steps are includes in this section for convenience. For a full description of the URL properties, refer to these topics in the TDV Client Interfaces Guide:
Defining a JDBC Client using a Connection URL
JDBC Driver Connection URL Properties
Make sure your application has been designed to accommodate TDV SSL authentication for JDBC. See Creating a JDBC Client Application with SSL Capability.
To define authentication between JDBC client applications and the TDV Server
1. Obtain a JKS digital certificate from a trusted Certificate Authority (CA), or generate your own using keytool.
2. Add the certificates for JDBC access to this file:
<TDV_install_dir>/apps/jdbc/cis_jdbc_truststore.jks
 
3. Change the password of the JDBC truststore:
keytool -storepasswd -new <your_password> -keystore cis_jdbc_truststore.jks
 
4. Restart the TDV Server.
