Connection Option Descriptions : Key Store

Key Store

Attribute

Keystore (KS)

Purpose

The fully qualified path and file name of the keystore file to be used when SSL is enabled (Encryption Method=1) and SSL client authentication is enabled on the database server. The keystore file contains the certificates that the client sends to the server in response to the server’s certificate request. If you do not specify a directory, the current directory is used.

For Windows platforms, the values specified for security-related options when creating a data source determine the behavior of both the driver and the Schema Tool.

To fully enable SSL on UNIX and Linux platforms, you must specify values for security-related options separately for the driver and the Schema Tool. For the driver, these values are specified in the data source or connection string used to configure the driver. For the Schema Tool, these values are specified when creating a schema definition with the Table Wizard. See "Using Security with the Schema Tool" for details.

Valid Values

keystore_directory

where:

keystore_directory

is the location of the keystore file.

Notes

The keystore and truststore files can be the same file.

Default
