Does Liquibase Support other authentication methods (LDAP, OAuth, Kerberos, or TLS)?

Applies to: 

• Liquibase Pro
• Liquibase Open Source (Community)

Conditions:

• Any version of Liquibase Pro or Open Source
• Database that supports LDAP/OAuth/Kerberos/TLS
• Database driver that supports LDAP/OAuth/Kerberos/TLS

Question:

Does Liquibase support any authentication through LDAP/OAuth/Kerberos/TLS/SSL?

Answer:

The authentication methods that can be used depend on the driver's capability rather than Liquibase itself.

Liquibase only passes the username and password to the driver. All other attributes, such as keys or certificates, are handled as driver attributes that are outside of Liquibase's control.

As long as the driver supports the authentication type, Liquibase should be able to connect.

Helpful tip:

If you set up a different authentication to use and Liquibase is unable to connect, try the authentication method via another tool to verify if it is a driver or a Liquibase issue. If you determine the connection cannot be made via Liquibase but can connect via other tools, please reach out to Liquibase support.
