Overview

CloudBeaver supports the ability to establish connections using Secure Socket Layer (SSL), a protocol for creating authenticated and encrypted links between networked computers.

Note: SSL parameters are optional and should only be specified if required by your server configuration.

Setting up SSL configuration

1. Start by creating a connection.
2. Go to the SSl tab in the connection settings.
3. Enable the checkbox Enable SSL
4. Configure the required settings:

Parameter	Description
CA Certificate	Path to the Certificate Authority (CA) certificate.
Client Certificate	Path to the client's public key certificate.
Client Private Key	Path to the client's private key.
SSL Mode	Desired security level for SSL.
SSL Factory	Provide SSLSocketFactory factory class name.
Cipher Suites (optional)	Specify a comma-separated cipher suites list to use.
Skip host name validation	Whether to bypass hostname validation.
Use self signed certificate (non-secure)	Acceptance of self-signed certificates.
Force TLS 1.2	Enforce using TLS version 1.2.
Verify server certificate	Ensures the server certificate is valid.
Allow public key retrieval	Allows the retrieval of the server's public key.

Note: The availability of these parameters can vary depending on the database.

5. If all other necessary connection settings are configured, complete the setup by clicking Finish, or test the configuration by clicking Test Connection to ensure that SSL is functioning correctly.

Tip: To avoid entering credentials every time, enable the Save credentials for the current user option. Depending on the connection type, the checkbox name may vary. For more details, see Credential saving options.

Setting up SSL configuration via Driver properties

For some databases, an alternative method to configure SSL settings is available through the Driver properties tab. This approach allows access to additional or driver-specific SSL options that may not be present in the main SSL tab:

1. Select the Driver properties tab within the Connection settings.

   

2. Look for properties prefixed with ssl, such as sslResponseTimeout, sslfactoryarg, sslhostnameverifier, etc. Configure the necessary properties according to your database and server requirements.

3. If all other necessary connection settings are configured, complete the setup by clicking Finish, or test the configuration by clicking Test Connection to ensure that SSL is functioning correctly.
