Attribute

Truststore (TS)

Purpose

The directory that contains the truststore file and the truststore file name to be used when SSL is enabled (Encryption Method=1) and server authentication is used. The truststore file contains a list of the valid Certificate Authorities (CAs) that are trusted by the client machine for SSL server authentication. If you do not specify a directory, the current directory is used.

Valid Values

truststore_directory\filename

where:

truststore_directory
is the directory where the truststore file is located
filename
is the file name of the truststore file.

Notes

  • Warning: If you are distributing the driver with your application, you must prevent your end users from setting the value for the Truststore option. The Truststore option provides a method for you to specify a truststore library file used for TLS/SSL encryption. However, if exposed, the option can be used to specify files that execute malicious or undesirable code. Refer to Security best practices for ODBC applications in the Progress DataDirect for ODBC Drivers Reference for more information.
  • The value specified for this option should be an absolute path to a mounted drive.
  • The truststore and keystore files may be the same file.

  • Supported by Greenplum 4.2 and higher.
