# Using SSL without identity verification
<a name="jdbc20-use-ssl-without-identity-verification"></a>

If the server you are connecting to uses SSL but doesn't require identity verification, then you can configure the driver to use a non-validating SSL factory. 

**To configure an SSL connection without identity verification**

1. Set the `UID` property to your Redshift username for accessing the Amazon Redshift server.

1. Set the `PWD` property to the password corresponding to your Redshift username.

1. Set the `SSLFactory` property to `com.amazon.redshift.ssl.NonValidatingFactory`.
