Setting Up mTLS Between Jira Service Management and PostgreSQL 13.5: A Complete Guide

In today's online environments, ensuring secure communication between applications and databases is vital. One effective way to secure data in transit is by using mutual TLS (mTLS). If you're trying to set up mTLS between Jira Service Management (JSM) and PostgreSQL 13.5, you've come to the right place. This guide breaks down the steps necessary for proper configuration and addresses common pitfalls, like the error messages you might encounter.

Understanding the Problem

When attempting to establish a connection between your Jira Service Management application and PostgreSQL using mTLS, you might run into some challenges. One common issue is receiving an error related to the pg_hba.conf configuration file. For instance, you might see messages like:

This error often indicates that the SSL connection is not being recognized correctly, preventing successful communication between the application and the database.

Configuration Overview

To successfully establish an mTLS connection, it's essential to configure both the PostgreSQL database and the Jira application's database configuration file correctly. Below, we break down the steps and settings needed for both components.

PostgreSQL Configuration

Enable SSL in PostgreSQL: Ensure that SSL is enabled within your PostgreSQL installation. This can be set in the postgresql.conf file with the directive:

Configure pg_hba.conf: This file controls the client authentication and must include an entry that specifies the use of certificates for connections. Add the following line to your pg_hba.conf:

Jira Application Configuration

Next, update the dbconfig.xml file used by Jira to connect to PostgreSQL.

JDBC URL Format: The JDBC URL in the dbconfig.xml must be formatted correctly. An important detail to remember is to use & instead of ; as a delimiter between your SSL properties.

Use PKCS# 8 for Keys: Ensure your private key is in PKCS# 8 format rather than PKCS# 1. This requirement is often overlooked and can lead to connection failures.

Example of a Correct Configuration in dbconfig.xml:

Conclusion

Setting up an mTLS connection between Jira Service Management and PostgreSQL 13.5 involves careful configuration on both the database and application sides. Common pitfalls can be avoided by ensuring that the JDBC URL is correctly formatted and the private key is in the proper format.

If you've followed the steps outlined in this guide and still encounter issues, double-check your configurations and ensure that all paths to your certificates and keys are correct. By following these guidelines, you should be able to successfully establish a secure mTLS connection.

Happy coding!
