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

Minimum macOS Version

The CData ODBC Driver for Marketo 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 Marketo/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 Marketo

Marketo supports two APIs: REST and SOAP. To specify the API to be used, configure the Schema property to either REST or SOAP.

REST API

The REST API uses OAuth to authentication to validate the user's access. To set up access to Marketo via the REST API:

1. Create a custom service.
2. Obtain the appropriate OAuth credentials.
3. Configure the connection variables.

Creating a Custom Service

This procedure creates a new role with REST API privileges, assigns that role to an existing or new user, and creates a new service. It must be executed by a user with Admin privileges.

1. Navigate to the Marketo application's Admin area.
2. Navigate to the Security section.
3. Click Users & Roles.
4. Create a new role for API Access:
   1. Select the Roles tab.
   2. Click New Role.
   3. Specify a Role Name and select Role permissions. Specify Access API permissions that are specific to the REST API.
5. Assign or create a new User to execute API Access:
   1. Select the Users tab.
   2. To assign a new user the role you just created, click Invite New User.
   3. Enter the new user information, and assign them the role you just created with REST API access. To denote the user as an API Only user, select the API Only option.
6. Create the new service:
   1. Navigate to Admin > Integration and click the LaunchPoint option.
   2. Click New Service.
   3. Specify the Service Type of Custom.
   4. Enter a display name and description for the service.
   5. Assign the user you just created, to the service.

Marketo creates a new REST API service designed for connecting and authenticating to Marketo. It also generates the OAuth-based authentication credentials required for validating user access to the REST API.

Obtaining OAuth Credentials

To obtain and record the new service's OAuth credentials, return to the Marketo Admin area and navigate to the LaunchPoint option.

Click the View Details link for the service you just created. Marketo displays a window that shows the authentication credentials. These credentials provide the values for OAuthClientId and OAuthClientSecret.

Setting Connection Variables

After you have set the following connection variables, you are ready to connect via the REST API:

• Schema: REST.
• OAuthClientId: The OAuth Client ID associated with your custom service.
• OAuthClientSecret: The OAuth Client Secret associated with your custom service.
• RESTEndpoint: The URL of the REST Web service endpoint, as found in the Admin area. Navigate to the REST API Integration > Web Services section to find this URL. Leave Identity Endpoint blank.

SOAP API

After you have set the following connection variables, you are ready to connect via the SOAP API:

• Schema: SOAP.
• UserId: The client access ID, found in the Integration section of the Marketo Admin SOAP API panel.
• EncryptionKey: The Marketo SOAP API Encryption Key, generated on the Admin page of the Marketo website.
• SOAPEndpoint: The URL of the SOAP Web service endpoint, provided on the Admin page of the Marketo website.

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 Marketo"
sudo ./uninstall.sh

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