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.

SSL

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.

SSH

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.

Authenticating to MySQL

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 to MySQL hosted on Azure

A MySQL database hosted on Azure may be connected to using a number of OAuth schemes including AzureAD,AzurePassword,AzureMSI. In each case, AzureTenant is required.

• AzureTenant: The Microsoft Online tenant where MySQL is located.

Azure AD

Azure AD is a connection type that leverages OAuth to authenticate. Set your AuthScheme to AzureAD.

Azure Password

To connect using your Azure credentials directly, specify the following connection properties:

• AuthScheme: Set this to AzurePassword.
• User: Set this to your user account you use to connect to Azure.
• Password: Set this to the password you use to connect to Azure.
• AzureTenant: Set this to the Directory (tenant) ID, found on the Overview page of the OAuth app used to authenticate to MySQL on Azure.

MSI

If you are running MySQL on an Azure VM, you can leverage Managed Service Identity (MSI) credentials to connect:

• AuthScheme: Set this to AzureMSI.

The MSI credentials are automatically obtained for authentication.
