AWS redshift: Add verify-full SSL recommendation to JDBC config options

Service: redshift · 2026-09-27 · Documentation medium

File: redshift/latest/mgmt/jdbc20-configuration-options.md · Type: encryption

Summary

Adds a Note in the JDBC driver configuration options reference recommending `verify-full` for SSL connections whenever possible.

Security assessment

The note promotes the strongest JDBC SSL verification mode, which checks the server certificate and hostname and prevents MITM/spoofing of the Redshift endpoint. It is hardening guidance, not a response to a specific disclosed vulnerability.

Evidence

+We recommend using `verify-full` for SSL connections whenever possible.
