Hi All-
We are going to start
implementing SSL with Postgres v8.1.4 (finally got it working with Tomcat
after a few long weeks!); and I've been doing some reading in the docs and on
the mailing lists and I have a couple of questions before we start down this
path:
- In the docs, it says
that when using SSL in Postgres "This requires that OpenSSL is installed on both
client and server systems and that support in PostgreSQL is enabled at build
time" - is this correct? Or can we use the certificates and keystore
file we generated using the Jave keytool implementing SSL with
Tomcat?
- In perusing the
mailing list, it appears that this is not going to be a 'simple' task...any
pointers that anyone can give to me before we start? If possible, I'd like
to avoid another hair-pulling three week task! =o)
Thanks in advance for any
help and for your time!
-Jeanna
