TCPS and SSLv2Hello

Thanks to platform independence, the same java code work on different platforms.

import java.util.Properties;
import java.security.Security;
import java.sql.*;
import javax.net.ssl.*;

public class KeyStore {
  public static void main(String argv[])
      throws SQLException {
    String url="jdbc:oracle:thin:@(DESCRIPTION="+
      "(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCPS)(Host=SRV01)("+
      "Port=1521))(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=DB01)))";
    Properties props = new Properties();
    props.setProperty("user", "scott");
    props.setProperty("password", "tiger");
    props.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStore",
      "keystore.jks");
    props.setProperty(
      "javax.net.ssl.trustStoreType","JKS");
    props.setProperty(
      "javax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword","***");
    DriverManager.registerDriver(
      new oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver());
    Connection conn =
      DriverManager.getConnection(url, props);
    ResultSet res = conn.prepareCall("select "+
       "sys_context('USERENV','NETWORK_PROTOCOL"+
       "') txt from dual").
         executeQuery();
    res.next();
    System.out.println("PROTOCOL: "+
      res.getString("TXT"));
  }
}

The code above perfectly works with Linux and Windows.

Okay, in AIX you will get IllegalArgumentException SSLv2Hello at com.ibm.jsse2.sb.a if you don’t add

props.setProperty("oracle.net.ssl_version","3.0");

The default does not work with the Oracle AIX client. Just set it to 1.0 and 3.0 and you will be a bit less plateform-dependent
