EventConnect's fork of the Cassandra JDBC driver is built on top of the DataGrip and DbSchema Cassandra drivers. This fork adds enhanced SSL capabilities to the driver.
Unlike the original implementation, this driver provides a standard cipher suite, which is customizable, during initialization of SSLOptions. This cipher suite helped us to eliminate timeout related issues during connection.
Forked from Cassandra JDBC Driver, which is based on DbSchema Cassandra driver
# Linux, MacOS
./gradlew shadowJar
# Windows
gradlew.bat shadowJar
You'll find it in jar directory. You can alternatively use the pre-built JAR of version 1.5.
To use this driver in DataGrip, create a new driver and add the JAR file in the 'Data Sources and Drivers' dialog. For more information, please refer to the DataGrip Documentation.
After you add your JAR file, choose com.dbschema.CassandraJdbcDriver as the driver class.
Make sure to choose this driver for your Cassandra data source in the Data Sources and Drivers > Your Data Source > General > Driver dropdown.
This driver is configured using environment variables. DataGrip allows you to specify environment variables for each data source and driver. Disable Use SSL checkbox in the SSH/SSL tab.
Go to Data Sources and Drivers > Your Data Source > Advanced > Environment Variables (or VM environment) to configure SSL settings.
The following environment variables are supported:
| Name | Description | Type | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
CASS_CLIENT_ENABLE_SSL |
Enable SSL | bool | false |
CASS_CLIENT_KEYSTORE |
Path to keystore file | text | null |
CASS_CLIENT_KEYSTORE_PASSWORD |
Keystore password | text | null |
CASS_CLIENT_TRUSTSTORE |
Path to truststore file | text | null |
CASS_CLIENT_TRUSTSTORE_PASSWORD |
Truststore password | text | null |
CASS_CLIENT_KEY_ALIAS |
Keystore private key alias | text | null |
CASS_CLIENT_CIPHER_SUITE |
SSL cipher suite, each item must be seperated with a comma | list | TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA, TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA |
In a minimal setup, you must set CASS_CLIENT_ENABLE_SSL to true and provide the keystore and truststore files and their passwords.
