Description

Currently, there are two ways to set up a connection from Knox to a PostgreSQL instance:

• either using the connection JDBC URL
• or specifying the connection parameters (host, port, etc...) one by one

In the case of the first option, the username and password information has to be part of the URL in plain text which should be avoided. Therefore these two sensitive parameters should be configured just like we do in the 2nd case.

Moreover, SSL configuration (added in KNOX-2598) is only available for the second case. This has to be addressed as well.
