The driver supports User ID/password authentication. It authenticates the user to the database using a user name and password.
Take the following steps to configure user ID/password authentication.
- Set the AuthenticationMethod property to
userIDPassword. - Set the User property to provide the user ID.
- Set the Password property to provide the password.
For example, the following is a connection string with only the required properties for making
a connection using user ID/password authentication.
Note: The
User and Password properties are not required to be stored in the connection
string. They can also be passed separately by the
application.
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection
("jdbc:datadirect:oracleservicecloud:LoginHost=mysite.custhelp.com;
User=test;Password=secret;");
