This section shows how to set up ODBC connectivity and configure DSNs on macOS.

Minimum macOS Version

The CData ODBC Driver for Smartsheet driver requires macOS Sierra (10.12) or above.

Licensing the Driver

In a terminal, run the following commands to license the driver. To activate a trial, omit the <key> input.

cd "/Applications/CData ODBC Driver for Smartsheet/bin"
sudo ./install-license.sh <key>

You'll be prompted for a name and password. These refer to your name and your machine's password.

Connecting to Smartsheet

Smartsheet supports connections via the following authentication methods:

• Using the Personal Access Token

Personal Access Token

Use the personal token to test and to access your own data. To obtain the personal token, follow the steps below:

1. Log into Smartsheet.
2. Click Account and select Personal Settings.
3. Click API Access and use the form to generate new access tokens or manage existing access tokens.

Set the AuthScheme to PersonalAccessToken. You can then set the PersonalAccessToken to the token you generated.

Synch Connections

Before you connect, set the following variables:

• OAuthClientId: The client Id assigned when you registered your custom OAuth application.
• OAuthClientSecret: The client secret assigned when you registered your custom OAuth application.

Click Connect to Smartsheet to open the OAuth endpoint in your default browser. Log in and grant permissions to the application.

The driver then completes the OAuth process as follows:

• Extracts the access token from the callback URL.
• Obtains a new access token when the old one expires.
• Saves OAuth values so that they persist across connections.

Uninstalling the Driver

The easiest way to uninstall the driver is to open a terminal and run the included uninstall.sh script, located in the installation directory. For example:

cd "/Applications/CData ODBC Driver for Smartsheet"
sudo ./uninstall.sh

Note: The script needs to be run from the installation directory.
