Connect with JDBC Thin Driver

Autonomous AI Database requires secure connections that uses Transport Layer Security (TLS). JDBC connections use TLS 1.3 when supported by the JDBC driver and fallback to TLS 1.2 otherwise.

Java applications that use JDBC Thin driver connect with one of the following:

• Mutual TLS (mTLS) Authentication: requires either Oracle Wallet or Java KeyStore (JKS) where both the client and Autonomous AI Database authenticate each other.

  The wallet and keystore files are included in the client credentials .zip file that is available by clicking Database connection on the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console

• TLS Authentication: The client computer matches the server’s CA root certificate against the client’s list of trusted CAs. If the issuing CA is trusted, the client verifies that the certificate is authentic. This allows the client and Autonomous AI Database to establish the encrypted connection before exchanging any messages.

See Connecting to Oracle AI Database Manually for additional information on how to connect your Java applications to Autonomous AI Database using Oracle JDBC driver and Universal Connection Pool.
