Can Oracle RDS Custom access class BCryptPasswordEncoder

0

We just migrated our on-prem application to Oracle on EC2 in production. We need to use Oracle RDS SE2 due to licensing but we need to have access to this Java class, BCryptPasswordEncoder. Can we do that in Oracle RDS Custom?

Hello,

Because you have SYSDBA access and OS access, you have the ability to customize the environment as per your requirement as long as such customizations do not impact the AWS Support Perimeter [1]. I believe enabling BCryptPasswordEncoder access involves installing Java classes and/or making use of stored procedures. You can do so, but ensure you do not breach the perimeter. Also, the password encryption and the other operations you do using BCryptPasswordEncoder should not interfere with the security setup built around RDS Custom, which helps AWS manage the environment. See here[2] for the RDS Custom security considerations. For limitations on using RDS Custom for Oracle, see [3].

We need further descriptions of your use case if the above points do not address your questions completely.

Hope this helps, Govardhanan.
