This section describes how to set up ODBC connectivity and configure DSNs on several Linux distributions: Debian-based systems, like Ubuntu, and Red Hat Linux platforms, like Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), CentOS, and Fedora.

Minimum Linux Versions

Here are the minimum supported versions for Red Hat-based and Debian-based systems:

OS	Min. Version
Ubuntu	11.04
Debian	7
RHEL	6.9
CentOS	6.9
Fedora	13
SUSE	12.1

Installing the Driver Dependencies

Run the following commands as root or with sudo to install the necessary dependencies:

• Debian/Ubuntu:
  

  apt-get install libc6 libstdc++6 zlib1g libgcc1

• RHEL/CentOS/Fedora:
  

  yum install glibc libstdc++ zlib libgcc

Here are the corresponding libraries required by the driver:

Debian/Ubuntu Package	RHEL/CentOS/Fedora Package	File
libc6	glibc	linux-vdso.1
libc6	glibc	libm.so.6
libc6	glibc	librt.so.1
libc6	glibc	libdl.so.2
libc6	glibc	libpthread.so.0
libc6	glibc	libc.so.6
libc6	glibc	ld-linux-x86-64.so.2
libstdc++6	libstdc++	libstdc++.so.6
zlib1g	zlib	libz.so.1
libgcc1	libgcc	libgcc_s.so.1

Installing the Driver

You can use standard package management systems to install the driver.

On Debian-based systems, like Ubuntu, run the following command with root or sudo:

dpkg -i /path/to/driver/setup/C1010ODBCDriverforUnix.deb 

On systems that support the RPM package format, run the following command with root or sudo:

rpm -ivh /path/to/driver/C1010ODBCDriverforUnix.rpm 

Connecting through the Driver Manager

The driver manager loads the driver and passes function calls from the application to the driver. You need to register the driver with the driver manager and you define DSNs in the driver manager's configuration files.

The driver installation registers the driver with the unixODBC driver manager and creates a system DSN. The unixODBC driver manager can be used from Python and from many other applications. Your application may embed another driver manager.

Creating the DSN

See Using unixODBC to install unixODBC and configure DSNs. See Using the DataDirect Driver Manager to create a DSN to connect to OBIEE, Informatica, and SAS.

Connecting to 1010Data

The 1010Data driver supports authenticating through various authentication schemes. All of the authentication mechanisms require at least these properties to be set. Other properties are specific to each authentication scheme and are covered in the following sections.

• AuthScheme: This property specifies the authentication method you want to use. When the AuthScheme is set to one of the SSO providers, the driver uses this URL for your SSO instance.
• LoginURL: specifies your 1010Data domain and service version: https://my.domain.1010data.com/prime-latest.

Authenticating to 1010Data

The driver supports the use of 1010Data user credentials for authentication.

User Credentials

To log in with your 1010Data account, set the following properties:

• AuthScheme: Set to Basic
• User: Set to your 1010Data login username
• Password: Set to your 1010Data login password

ADFS

Set the AuthScheme to ADFS. The following connection properties need to be set:

• User: Set this to the ADFS user.
• Password: Set this to ADFS password for the user.
• SSOLoginURL: Set this to the login url used by the SSO provider.

Below is an example connection string:

AuthScheme=ADFS;User=username;Password=password;SSOLoginURL='https://sts.company.com';

ADFS Integrated

The ADFS Integrated flow indicates you are connecting with the currently logged in Windows user credentials. To use the ADFS Integrated flow, do not specify the User and Password, but otherwise follow the same steps in the ADFS guide above.

Okta

Set the AuthScheme to Okta. The following connection properties are used to authenticate through Okta:

• User: Set to your Okta user.
• Password: Set to your Okta password.
• SSOLoginURL: Set to the login URL used by the SSO provider.

If you are:

• using a trusted application or proxy that overrides the Okta client request
• configuring MFA

then you need to use combinations of SSOProperties input parameters to authenticate using Okta. Otherwise, you do not need to set any of these values.

In SSOProperties, when required, set these input parameters:

• APIToken: When authenticating a user via a trusted application or proxy that overrides the Okta client request context, set this to the API Token the customer created from the Okta organization.
• MFAType: Set this if you have configured the MFA flow. Currently we support the following types: OktaVerify, Email, and SMS.
• MFAPassCode: Set this only if you have configured the MFA flow. If you set this to empty or an invalid value, the driver issues a one-time password challenge to your device or email. After the passcode is received, reopen the connection where the retrieved one-time password value is set to the MFAPassCode connection property.
• MFARememberDevice: Okta supports remembering devices when MFA is required. If remembering devices is allowed according to the configured authentication policies, the driver sends a device token to extend MFA authentication lifetime. This property is, by default, set to True. Set this to False only if you do not want MFA to be remembered.

Example connection string:

AuthScheme=Okta;SSOLoginURL='https://example.okta.com/home/appType/0bg4ivz6cJRZgCz5d6/46';User=oktaUserName;Password=oktaPassword;

Azure Active Directory

To login with Azure Active Directory, your Azure administrator must configure two applications within Azure using the steps outlined in Configure Azure Active Directory. Once they have completed these steps, they will need to provide you with the Azure Tenant ID along with the Client ID and Client Secret of the OAuth application they created.

Once you have these details, set the following properties. The driver will open a web browser where you can login using your Azure credentials, and then ask Azure to sign you into 1010Data.

• AuthScheme: Set to AzureAD
• InitiateOAuth: Set to GETANDREFRESH.
• OAuthClientId: Set to the client ID of the OAuth applciation.
• OAuthClientSecret: Set to the client secret of the OAuth application.
• SSOProperties: Set to Tenant=AZURE_TENANT;Resource=ENTERPRISE_APP_ID, replacing AZURE_TENANT with your Azure Active Directory Tenant ID and ENTERPRISE_APP_ID with the Application ID URI of the enterprise SSO application. See SSOProperties for more details.

Refreshing OAuth Values

The driver can refresh the temporary OAuth access tokens obtained during the browser-based OAuth authentication exchange. By default, the driver saves the encrypted tokens in the odbc.ini file corresponding to the DSN. Access to this odbc.ini file can be restricted in the case of System DSNs.

To enable the automatic token exchange, you can give the driver write access to the system odbc.ini.

Installing Dependencies for OAuth Authentication

The OAuth authentication standard requires the authenticating user to interact with 1010Data, using a web-browser. If the first OAuth interaction is to be done on the same machine the driver is installed on, for example, a desktop application, the driver needs access to the xdg-open program, which opens the default browser.

To satisfy this dependency, install the corresponding package with your package manager:

Debian/Ubuntu Package	RHEL/CentOS/Fedora Package	File
xdg-utils	xdg-utils	xdg-open

Set the Driver Encoding

The ODBC drivers need to specify which encoding to use with the ODBC Driver Manager. By default, the CData ODBC Drivers for Unix are configured to use UTF-16 which is compatible with unixODBC, but other Driver Managers may require alternative encoding.

Alternatively, if you are using the ODBC driver from an application that uses the ANSI ODBC API it may be necessary to set the ANSI code page. For example, to import Japanese characters in an ANSI application, you can specify the code page in the config file '/opt/cdata/cdata-odbc-driver-for-c1010/lib/cdata.odbc.c1010.ini':

[Driver]
AnsiCodePage = 932
