Specifying JDBC Driver Connection URLs

The connection URL format depends on whether you are using SSL encryption. See "Configuring the SequeLink® Proxy Server" for more information about SSL encryption and certificate-based authentication.

NOTE: SequeLink Server for DB2 for z/OS does not support SSL. To use SSL encryption in a DB2 for z/OS environment, use the SequeLink Proxy Server.

If not using SSL encryption over the SequeLink Proxy Server, the connection URL format is:

jdbc:sequelink://hostname:port[;key=value]... 

If using SSL encryption over the SequeLink Proxy Server, the connection URL format is:

jdbc:sequelink:ssl://hostname:port[;key=value]... 

where:

hostname	is the TCP/IP address or TCP/IP host name of the SequeLink server to which you are connecting. NOTE: Untrusted applets cannot open a socket to a machine other than the originating host. See "Using the SequeLink® Proxy Server" for more information about untrusted applets.
port	is the TCP/IP port on which the SequeLink server is listening. A default installation of SequeLink Server uses the port 19996.
key=value	specifies connection properties. Refer to the SequeLink Developer's Reference for a list of connection properties and their valid values.

Connection URL Examples

The following examples show some typical JDBC driver connection URLs:

jdbc:sequelink://sequelinkhost:19996; 
jdbc:sequelink://189.23.5.25:19996;user=john;
password=whatever 
jdbc:sequelink://189.23.5.132:19996;databaseName=stores7 
jdbc:sequelink://189.23.5.68:19996;databaseName=pubs;
HUser=john;HPassword=whatever 
jdbc:sequelink://sequelinkhost:4006;
databaseName=pubs;DBUser=john;DBPassword=whatever 
jdbc:sequelink:ssl://mysecurehost:9500;
cipherSuites=SSL_DH_anon_WITH_RC4_128_MD5 
jdbc:sequelink:ssl://mysecurehost:9502;
cipherSuites=SSL_DHE_RSA_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA;
certificateChecker=CheckAgainstCertificateFromJar 

The preceding examples do not show the user and password connection properties. Typically, these properties are specified in the connection properties stored in the java.util.Properties object, which is supplied as a parameter to the getConnection method.
