Enabling FIPS Compliance in jConnect for JDBC

Typically, the default JCE Providers supplied with Java VMs are not FIPS 140-2 certified. To set up FIPS 140-2 compliant connections, you need access to a JCE Provider that is FIPS 140-2 certified.

With access to such FIPS 140-2 certified JCE Provider, you can configure jConnect for FIPS 140-2 compliance by setting these properties:
  1. Set the ENABLE_FIPS connection property boolean value to TRUE.
  2. Set the JCE_PROVIDER_CLASS connection property to the string class name for the FIPS 140-2 certified JCE Provider.
