如何在Java应用程序和数据库之间建立安全连接？

Question

In an interview, Interview asked me an question :

• The communication between our application and the remote database must be done with https (more secure).

How could you do it? I didn't find any clue for this question in google also.

How to establish secure connection between java application and database? Please help me.

Answer 1

HTTPS? If your client is using something proprietary with a web server acting as an intermediary to talk to the db server it would (one would hope) be transparent between your application the & web server; simply change from HTTP to HTTPS, ditto if you're using SQL Server web service end-points (which you can make use HTTPS).

If perhaps you mean SSL then SQL server supports encrypted connections between client and server, see this question.

Answer 2

Google for JDBC connection over SSL. See here for an example.

Answer 3

Hopefully the person who asked the question wasn't seriously thinking about exposing a database to the wider Internet. If they were, better not to accept that position.
