Currently in my spring boot application.properties file, I am specifying following lines to connect to MSSql server.
spring.datasource.url=jdbc:sqlserver://localhost;databaseName=springbootd
spring.datasource.username=sa
spring.datasource.password=Projects@123
Instead of giving username and password, I want to authenticate user using kerberos, what all changes I will have to make.
I tried searching in the JPA official documentation but could not find any. Leads here are appreciated.
Basically, you need to set up your krb5.conf file properly. You can verify that configuration via the following command and entering your password:
kinit <user-name>
Additionally, make sure you have a JDBC URL like:
jdbc:sqlserver://servername=server_name;integratedSecurity=true;authenticationScheme=JavaKerberos;userName=user@REALM;password=****
See Microsoft JDBC driver documentation for details.
EDIT:
Forgot to mention the startup arguments. Add the following JVM argument:
-Djava.security.krb5.conf=<PATH_TO>/krb5.conf
I believe this is not neccessary if you use the default krb5.conf but not entirely sure.
