MySQL

Connecting to MySQL

The following connection properties are required in order to connect to data.

• Server: The host name or IP of the server hosting the MySQL database.

• Port: The port of the server hosting the MySQL database.

You can also optionally set the following:

• Database: The default database to connect to when connecting to the MySQL Server. If this is not set, tables from all databases will be returned.

Connect Using Standard Authentication

To authenticate using standard authentication, set the following:

• User: The user which will be used to authenticate with the MySQL server.

• Password: The password which will be used to authenticate with the MySQL server.

Connect Using Integrated Security

As an alternative to providing the standard username and password, you can set IntegratedSecurity to True to authenticate trusted users to the server via Windows Authentication.

Connect Using SSL Authentication

You can leverage SSL authentication to connect to MySQL data via a secure session. Configure the following connection properties to connect to data:

• SSLClientCert: Set this to the name of the certificate store for the client certificate. Used in the case of 2-way SSL, where truststore and keystore are kept on both the client and server machines.

• SSLClientCertPassword: If a client certificate store is password-protected, set this value to the store's password.

• SSLClientCertSubject: The subject of the TLS/SSL client certificate. Used to locate the certificate in the store.

• SSLClientCertType:; The certificate type of the client store.

• SSLServerCert: The certificate to be accepted from the server.

Connect Using SSH Authentication

Using SSH, you can securely login to a remote machine. To access MySQL data via SSH, configure the following connection properties:

• SSHClientCert: Set this to the name of the certificate store for the client certificate.

• SSHClientCertPassword: If a client certificate store is password-protected, set this value to the store's password.

• SSHClientCertSubject: The subject of the TLS/SSL client certificate. Used to locate the certificate in the store.

• SSHClientCertType: The certificate type of the client store.

• SSHPassword: The password that you use to authenticate with the SSH server.

• SSHPort: The port used for SSH operations.

• SSHServer: The SSH authentication server you are trying to authenticate against.

• SSHServerFingerPrint: The SSH Server fingerprint used for verification of the host you are connecting to.

• SSHUser: Set this to the username that you use to authenticate with the SSH server.
