Invalid connector configuration using Shibboleth IdP 3.3.2 with Postgres - postgresql

Question

I am using DataConnector in attribute-resolver.xml to connect to database and fetch attributes.
When i connect to local postgres using the below configuration it works, means i am able to go to Unsolicited idp link idp/profile/SAML2/Unsolicited, authenticate and fetch the attributes and generate Saml2 assertion and send it to SP.
<DataConnector id="myDatabase" xsi:type="RelationalDatabase">
<ApplicationManagedConnection
jdbcDriver="org.postgresql.Driver" jdbcURL="jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/postgres"
jdbcUserName="postgres" jdbcPassword="postgresql" />
<QueryTemplate>
<![CDATA[
SELECT password, 12345 as EmployeeID, 'Nilesh' as FirstName, 'Lulla' as LastName from users where username='$requestContext.principalName'
]]>
</QueryTemplate>
<Column columnName="password" attributeID="password" />
<Column columnName="employeeid" attributeID="EmployeeID" />
<Column columnName="firstname" attributeID="FirstName" />
<Column columnName="lastname" attributeID="LastName" />
</DataConnector>
When i use the postgres server url and connection string it gives error, Shibboleth is not starting at all. Status page is also not opening. https://idp.abc.com/idp/status
<DataConnector id="myDatabase" xsi:type="RelationalDatabase">
<ApplicationManagedConnection
jdbcDriver="org.postgresql.Driver" jdbcURL="jdbc:postgresql://TPA1238.enterprise.org:5444/cpe_admin"
jdbcUserName="admin_temp" jdbcPassword="temp2018" />
<QueryTemplate>
<![CDATA[
SELECT panelist_id, first_name, last_name from user_details where user_id='$requestContext.principalName'
]]>
</QueryTemplate>
<Column columnName="panelist_id" attributeID="EmployeeID" />
<Column columnName="first_name" attributeID="FirstName" />
<Column columnName="last_name" attributeID="LastName" />
</DataConnector>
I am getting the following errors:

When i use local postgres for fetching attributes in attribute-resolver.xml and for Authentication when i use JAAS with the same postgres server configuration that works fine.
com.tagish.auth.DBLogin required debug=true dbDriver="org.postgresql.Driver"
dbURL="jdbc:postgresql://TPA1238.enterprise.org:5444/cpe_admin" dbUser="admin_temp" dbPassword="temp2018"
userTable="user_details" userColumn="user_id" passColumn="user_id";

Answer 1

There was some compatibility issue for which i just upgraded my postgres driver to latest one and it worked. Link to download the driver. https://jdbc.postgresql.org/download.html
I was using postgresql-9.4.1211.jre6.jar i tried with postgresql-42.2.1.jar and it worked.
