Support for cert auth in JDBC
Hello developers,
My project had a requirement to use certificate authentication to the PG
server. Our application uses Hibernate.
We did just that and my boss has OKed a source release.
Now, the current version of the code has dependencies on our internal
libraries, so I'll need to spend a bit of time making this 'standard'
Java code.
Would you please tell me how you'd prefer for me to proceed to do that?
Do I need write access to your CVS repo, or should I just send the code
and test case by email?
Is there a specific version of the JDBC code you want me to work from,
should I just pick whatever is HEAD?
Any package you'd like me to choose?
Any specific crypto/ssl requirements to consider?
Any specific dependencies to use instead of others? (e.g. I like SLF4J,
but that's not everyone's choice...)

Marc,
Please just send a cvs context diff from HEAD to the JDBC list.

Ideally, you would submit the patch, as a context diff, to this mailing
list and then add the patch to our 'CommitFest' system:
http://commitfest.postgresql.org
There is quite a bit of additional guideance on what a patch should look
like, etc, here: http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Submitting_a_Patch

I'm not too familiar with the JDBC parts, you might post this question
to the JDBC mailing list.
Any specific crypto/ssl requirements to consider?
We currently use and pretty heavily depend on OpenSSL. I'm not sure how
much that matters when it comes to JDBC.
Thanks,
Stephen

It sounded to me like this was a patch against the JDBC driver, not the
core server, in which case the above advice would be incorrect. JDBC
is developed by a separate project. You should join the pgsql-jdbc
mailing list and send your patch there.
