ssp-data 2025.19 does not appear to support Oracle DB

Products

• VIP Authentication Hub

Issue/Introduction

A recent attempt to deploy spp-data 2025.19 in our DEV environment to continue testing the risk engine, however the installation fails since it attempts to pull secret key "my-sql-password", which is not used in the environment.

There appears to be differences in the conditionals between ssp, and ssp-data, for pulling in the secrets, which points towards Oracle not being supported.

Does ssp-data support Oracle, and if so, what configuration is required to use this without modifying our existing secrets?

Environment

VIP AuthHub

Release : 3.4.1

Resolution

Oracle is supported for ssp-data deployment.
However for Oracle, you need to specify the database parameters separately.
Below command is used in GKE cluster environment to deploy the ssp-data for Oracle database:

helm upgrade --install sspgkeorcl-data -n ssp1 ./ssp-data --set sspReleaseName=sspgkeorcl --timeout 30m0s --set ssp.db.sslMode=REQUIRED --set ssp.db.existingSslSecret=oracle-ssl-cert --set ssp.db.serviceHost=10.#.#.# --set ssp.db.name=ORCL --set ssp.db.type=oracle --set ssp.db.user=sspgkeorcl --set ssp.db.schema=sspgkeorcl --set ssp.db.existingSecret=oracle-secret --set ssp.db.servicePort=<Port> --set ssp.global.ssp.registry.existingSecrets[0].name=ssp-gcr-registry-creds

When you specify these parameters for the external database, the helm chart deployment will work fine.

However the recommendation in this particular case would be to use the API to download and upload the Fraud data using API which is described here in the documentation below-
