Certificate-Based authentication

Certificate-based authentication uses SSL client certificates to perform authentication. Therefore, it is only available for SSL connections. When using this authentication method, the server requires that the client provide a valid, trusted certificate. No password prompt is sent to the client.

Since MicroStrategy 2021 Update 4, MicroStrategy supports PostgreSQL certificate-based authentication using MicroStrategy ODBC driver for PostgreSQL Wire Protocol, as well as PostgreSQL Unicode (x64).

For versions prior to MicroStrategy 2021 Update 4, you can use the PostgreSQL Unicode(x64) driver to enable certificate-based authentication.

See KB484539: MicroStrategy support for PostgreSQL certificate based authentication for more information.
