URL NameCan-t-make-an-SSL-ODBC-database-connection-with-a-trust-store-built-using-Java-keytool
Article Number000120038
EnvironmentProduct: Connect for ODBC all drivers
Version: All supported versions
OS: All support platforms
Database: All supported databases
Application: All supported applications
Question/Problem Description
Can't make an SSL ODBC database connection using DataDirect Connect for ODBC drivers with a trust store built using the Java keytool utility.
Steps to Reproduce
Clarifying Information
The trust store was built using Java keytool with the "-importcert" parameter.
Error Message
Defect Number
Enhancement Number
Cause
When the parameter -importcert is used, the DataDirect ODBC drivers are not going to be able to read the file due to that fact that keytool uses the JKS file format by default and the OpenSSL library used by the driver is not able to read the JKS format. 
 
Resolution
It's possible to instruct keytool to create the keystore using PKCS12 format and then OpenSSL will be able to read the keystore. 
Build the trust store using the following command: 
keytool.exe -importcert -v -storetype pkcs12 -file C:\<path>\mycert.cer -keystore myks.jks -storepass mypwd
