TDE is now available for PostgreSQL 18

| Percona

Back in October, before PGConf.EU, I explained the issues impacting the prolonged wait for TDE in PostgreSQL 18. Explanations were needed as users were buzzing with anticipation, and they deserved to understand what caused the delays and what the roadmap looked like. In that blog post I have shared that due to one of the features newly added in 18.0, the Asynchronous IO (AIO), we have decided to give ourselves time until 18.1 has been released to provide a build with TDE. We wanted to ensure best quality of the solution and that takes time.

OIDC in PostgreSQL: How It Works and Staying Secure

| Percona

In the previous blog post about the topic, OAuth, OIDC and validators, we discussed basic terminologies to understand the differences between the protocols and how they relate to PostgreSQL.

In this second part, we’ll go one step further and see how OIDC works exactly in other software and in PostgreSQL, and what OAuthBearer is about. We also focus on the possible attacks and dangers in this flow with some examples to showcase why it’s important to use a properly configured secure provider and to teach our users not to just skim through the authorization process.
