Dear Listers,
is there a way to use a DB user with password OR SSL certificates in parallel?
Background: We have an app, that connects with a single DB user (end user auth
is in the app). Supporters and developers are using the same DB user as the app
does, to reproduce issues and solve problems. We'd want a way to change the
password for the humans at regular intervals, with no need to touch the
application's config. We have the chance to make the app use certificates. But
we have no chance, to move the whole "zoo" of people, tools and whatever to
using certificates, too.
We are running Java 8 and DB 12.1, but I won't exclude an upgrade if it helps
on the long term.
Any ideas?
Many thanks in advance!
Martin
