Attribute

Keystore (KS)

Purpose

The name of the directory containing the keystore file to be used when SSL is enabled (EncryptionMethod=1 | 6) and SSL client authentication is enabled on the database server. The keystore file contains the certificates that the client sends to the server in response to the server’s certificate request. If you do not specify a directory, the current directory is used.

Valid Values

keystore_directory

where:

keystore_directory
is the location of the keystore file.

Notes

  • Warning: If you are distributing the driver with your application, you must prevent your end users from setting the value for the Keystore option. The Keystore option provides a method for you to specify a keystore 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 keystore and truststore files can be the same file.
