Best Practices - Securing an Enterprise application using JBOSS & Postgres

[eyal edri <eyal.edri@xxxxxxxxx>]

What settings would you recommend for using postgres in an enterprise application together with jboss?

there are numerous auth options (from the documentation):

19.3.1.ÂTrust authentication

19.3.2.ÂPassword authentication

19.3.3.ÂGSSAPI authentication

19.3.4.ÂSSPI authentication

19.3.5.ÂKerberos authentication

19.3.6.ÂIdent-based authentication

19.3.7.ÂLDAP authentication

19.3.8.ÂCertificate authentication

19.3.9.ÂPAM authentication

and i'm not sure that the jdbc driver even supports all of them when jboss needs to access the db.

currently i've chosen MD5 as the auth, but is that the best option?

thanks

Eyal.
