Hi,
I want to use Postgres-XL over the Internet but I am concerned for MITM and
impersonation attacks.
To mitigate that risk I would like to enable client certificate authentication
and connection encryption for the communication between data nodes and
coordinators.
I could not find any way to specify this in the configuration of the data nodes
or coordinators and I am wondering if this is possible.
I would settle for at least encrypting the communications.
Using a VPN(I have experience with OpenVPN) is not a solution I would like to
entertain at this point and it is a last resort option due to business
policies(getting policies changed is more painful than being flayed to death).
Thanks,
Darren
