Using the Microsoft ODBC Data Source Administrator

You can use the Microsoft ODBC Data Source Administrator to edit the DSN configuration. Note that the DSN is created during the installation process.

Complete the following steps to edit the DSN configuration:

1. Select Start > Search, and enter ODBC Data Sources in the Search box.
2. Choose the version of the ODBC Administrator that corresponds to the bitness of your application (32-bit or 64-bit).
3. Click the System DSN tab.
4. Select the system data source and click Configure.
5. Edit the information on the Connection tab and click OK.

Note: For .NET Framework 4.0, the driver distributes Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2022 Redistributable. For .NET Framework 3.5, the driver distributes Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable.

Connecting to Stripe

You can optionally set the following to refine the data returned from Stripe.

• AccountId: Set this to the Connected Account Id which you would like to get data for. To get the account Id, navigate to the stripe dashboard and click on connected accounts from the left hand menu. You can get the account id from the connected accounts list.

Authenticating to Stripe

Stripe supports both the OAuth authentication standard, and authenticating with an API Key.

Live API Key

Set the AuthScheme to APIKey. From the Stripe dashboard, navigate to Developers --> API keys --> Secret key --> Reveal live API Key and set LiveAPIKey to this value.

OAuth

InitiateOAuth: Set this to GETANDREFRESH. You can use InitiateOAuth to avoid repeating the OAuth exchange and manually setting the OAuthAccessToken. .

AuthScheme - Set this to OAuth.

CData embeds an OAuth application into the driver so you can connect without setting any connection properties for your user credentials. When you connect, the driver opens the OAuth endpoint in your default browser. Log in and grant permissions to the application. The driver then completes the OAuth process. For more information on the Embedded Credentials or information on creating a custom OAuth application, refer to our Using OAuth Authentication guide.
