I'm trying to move from an unencrypted JDBC connection using a username and password to log in to my MySQL database server, to a connection using SSL and certificate-based authentication. I'm using Hibernate with Spring MVC. My WebAppConfig file looks like this:
package com.****.PolicyManager.init;
import java.util.Properties;
import javax.annotation.Resource;
import javax.sql.DataSource;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.ComponentScan;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.PropertySource;
import org.springframework.core.env.Environment;
import org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.DriverManagerDataSource;
import org.springframework.orm.hibernate4.HibernateTransactionManager;
import org.springframework.orm.hibernate4.LocalSessionFactoryBean;
import org.springframework.transaction.annotation.EnableTransactionManagement;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.config.annotation.EnableWebMvc;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.view.JstlView;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.view.UrlBasedViewResolver;
@Configuration
@ComponentScan("com.sprhib")
@EnableWebMvc
@EnableTransactionManagement
@PropertySource("classpath:application.properties")
public class WebAppConfig {
private static final String PROPERTY_NAME_DATABASE_DRIVER = "db.driver";
private static final String PROPERTY_NAME_DATABASE_PASSWORD = "db.password";
private static final String PROPERTY_NAME_DATABASE_URL = "db.urlSSL";
private static final String PROPERTY_NAME_DATABASE_USERNAME = "db.username";
private static final String PROPERTY_NAME_HIBERNATE_DIALECT = "hibernate.dialect";
private static final String PROPERTY_NAME_HIBERNATE_SHOW_SQL = "hibernate.show_sql";
private static final String PROPERTY_NAME_ENTITYMANAGER_PACKAGES_TO_SCAN = "entitymanager.packages.to.scan";
@Resource
private Environment env;
@Bean
public DataSource dataSource() {
DriverManagerDataSource dataSource = new DriverManagerDataSource();
dataSource.setDriverClassName(env.getRequiredProperty(PROPERTY_NAME_DATABASE_DRIVER));
dataSource.setUrl(env.getRequiredProperty(PROPERTY_NAME_DATABASE_URL));
dataSource.setUsername(env.getRequiredProperty(PROPERTY_NAME_DATABASE_USERNAME));
dataSource.setPassword(env.getRequiredProperty(PROPERTY_NAME_DATABASE_PASSWORD));
return dataSource;
}
@Bean
public LocalSessionFactoryBean sessionFactory() {
LocalSessionFactoryBean sessionFactoryBean = new LocalSessionFactoryBean();
sessionFactoryBean.setDataSource(dataSource());
sessionFactoryBean.setPackagesToScan(env.getRequiredProperty(
PROPERTY_NAME_ENTITYMANAGER_PACKAGES_TO_SCAN));
sessionFactoryBean.setHibernateProperties(hibProperties());
return sessionFactoryBean;
}
private Properties hibProperties() {
Properties properties = new Properties();
properties.put(PROPERTY_NAME_HIBERNATE_DIALECT,
env.getRequiredProperty(PROPERTY_NAME_HIBERNATE_DIALECT));
properties.put(PROPERTY_NAME_HIBERNATE_SHOW_SQL,
env.getRequiredProperty(PROPERTY_NAME_HIBERNATE_SHOW_SQL));
return properties;
}
@Bean
public HibernateTransactionManager transactionManager() {
HibernateTransactionManager transactionManager =
new HibernateTransactionManager();
transactionManager.setSessionFactory(sessionFactory().getObject());
return transactionManager;
}
@Bean
public UrlBasedViewResolver setupViewResolver() {
UrlBasedViewResolver resolver = new UrlBasedViewResolver();
resolver.setPrefix("/WEB-INF/pages/");
resolver.setSuffix(".jsp");
resolver.setViewClass(JstlView.class);
return resolver;
}
}
And my properties config file (application.properties) as follows:
#DB properties:
db.driver=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
db.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/PolicyManager
db.urlSSL=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/PolicyManager?autoReconnect=true&verifyServerCertificate=false&useSSL=true&requireSSL=true
db.username=myuser
db.password=mypass
#Hibernate Configuration:
hibernate.dialect=org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5InnoDBDialect
hibernate.show_sql=true
entitymanager.packages.to.scan=com.****.PolicyManager.model
I've generated the right certificates inside /etc/mysql/certs and have edited my.cnf to point to then, but can't find any info online about how to configure my specific method of database initialisation to use certificate-based authentication to remove the need to store my database username and password in plain text on the server.
Can anyone suggest a solution or point me to a tutorial that uses this WebAppConfig.java file (hib properties, DriverManagerDataSource and LocalSessionFactoryBean) for it's configuration?
