Authentication modes
The JDBC Driver for YDB supports the following authentication modes:
-
Anonymous is used when a username and password are not specified and no other authentication properties are configured. No authentication credentials are provided.
-
Static credentials are used when a username and password are specified.
-
Access token is used when the
tokenproperty is configured. This authentication method requires a YDB authentication token, which can be obtained by executing the following YDB CLI command:ydb auth get-token. -
Metadata is used when the
useMetadataproperty is set totrue. This method extracts the authentication data from the metadata of a virtual machine, serverless container, or serverless function running in a cloud environment. -
Service Account Key is used when the
saFileproperty is configured. This method extracts the service account key from a file and uses it for authentication.
