The CData Sync App provides a straightforward way to continuously pipeline your MySQL data to any database, data lake, or data warehouse, making it easily available for Analytics, Reporting, AI, and Machine Learning.
The MySQL connector can be used from the CData Sync application to pull data from MySQL and move it to any of the supported destinations.
The Sync App enables connectivity to MySQL Server 5.0 or later. This Sync App supports connections to cloud-hosted instances of MySQL, including AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud Platform, as well as instances hosted in data warehouses, like Apache Doris.
For required properties, see the Settings tab.
For connection properties that are not typically required, see the Advanced tab.
By default, the Sync App determines user credentials and the NTLM domain automatically, using either the domain of the PC it is running on or the domain used by the machine running the MySQL instance. To discover the user credentials, the Sync App reads the current NTLM user.
If you want to specify a different domain, provide different login credentials, or change the target NTLM version via any or all of the following optional properties:
Your LDAP credentials are auto-detected by default. If you want to designate a different user and account, set the following optional properties:
| Parameter | Set To... | Notes | |
| Azure AD user | AzureTenant | The Microsoft Online tenant where MySQL is located. | See Note 1. |
| AuthScheme | AzureAD | See Note 2. | |
| Azure MSI | AzureTenant | The Microsoft Online tenant where MySQL is located. | See Note 1. |
| AuthScheme | AzureMSI | Most often used when MySQL is running on an Azure VM. | |
| OAuthClientId | Managed identity's client_identity | Required to obtain a token for a managed identity or if the VM has multiple user-assigned managed identities. | |
| Azure Password | AuthScheme | AzurePassword | To connect directly using your Azure credentials, specify the User and Password of the account you use to connect to Azure. |
Notes
You can connect to a MySQL database hosted on AWS using either IAM roles or EC2 roles.
To authenticate as an AWS role, set these properties:
If multi-factor authentication is required, specify the following:
Note: If you want to control the duration of the temporary credentials, set the TemporaryTokenDuration property (default: 3600 seconds).
Note: In some circumstances it might be preferable to use an IAM role for authentication, rather than the direct security credentials of an AWS root user. If you are specifying the AWSAccessKey and AWSSecretKey of an AWS root user, you cannot use roles.
Set AuthScheme to AwsEC2Roles.
If you are using the Sync App from an EC2 Instance and have an IAM Role assigned to the instance, you can use the IAM Role to authenticate. Since the Sync App automatically obtains your IAM Role credentials and authenticates with them, it is not necessary to specify AWSAccessKey and AWSSecretKey.
The MySQL Sync App now supports IMDSv2. Unlike IMDSv1, the new version requires an authentication token. Endpoints and response are the same in both versions.
In IMDSv2, the MySQL Sync App first attempts to retrieve the IMDSv2 metadata token and then uses it to call AWS metadata endpoints. If it is unable to retrieve the token, the Sync App reverts to IMDSv1.
This section details a selection of advanced features of the MySQL Sync App.
Use SSL Configuration to adjust how Sync App handles TLS/SSL certificate negotiations. You can choose from various certificate formats;. For further information, see the SSLServerCert property under "Connection String Options" .
Configure the Sync App for compliance with Firewall and Proxy, including Windows proxies. You can also set up tunnel connections.
By default, the Sync App attempts to negotiate TLS with the server. The server certificate is validated against the default system trusted certificate store. You can override how the certificate gets validated using the SSLServerCert connection property.
To specify another certificate, see the SSLServerCert connection property.
The MySQL Sync App also supports setting client certificates. Set the following to connect using a client certificate.
Set the following properties:

This section provides a complete list of the Authentication properties you can configure in the connection string for this provider.
| Property | Description |
| AuthScheme | Specifies the authentication scheme used to connect to the data source. This determines how the user or application credentials are validated. Choose an option supported by your MySQL server database. |
| Server | Specifies the host name or IP address of the MySQL server to connect to. This property supports both single-server and clustered environments through comma-separated values. |
| Port | Specifies the port number used to connect to the MySQL server. This property supports both single-node and clustered environments. For clusters, you may specify a comma-separated list of ports that correspond to each server in the Server property. |
| User | Specifies the authenticating user's user ID. |
| Password | Specifies the authenticating user's password. |
| Database | Specifies the name of the MySQL database to connect to by default. This determines the active schema used for queries unless explicitly overridden. |
| Domain | Specifies the Windows domain name to use when the AuthScheme is NTLM, which enables Windows Integrated Authentication using the NTLM protocol. This value is required if the user account belongs to a domain other than the local machine or default network domain. |
| NTLMVersion | Specifies the version of the NTLM protocol to use when authenticating with Windows credentials. This setting is only applicable when AuthScheme=NTLM. |
| IntegratedUser | Specifies the Windows user account to be used when authenticating with NTLM. This value is only applicable when AuthScheme=NTLM and is used to explicitly identify the integrated user for domain-based authentication. |
| UseSSL | This property determines whether Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is enabled for communication. By default, SSL is set to 'false', meaning that communications are not encrypted unless explicitly enabled. |
Specifies the authentication scheme used to connect to the data source. This determines how the user or application credentials are validated. Choose an option supported by your MySQL server database.
This property controls how authentication is performed. The following authentication schemes are supported:
Specifies the host name or IP address of the MySQL server to connect to. This property supports both single-server and clustered environments through comma-separated values.
This property defines the network location of the MySQL instance. This can be either a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) such as mysql.example.com or an IP address like 192.168.0.1. It is required for all connections and is essential for identifying the MySQL host the client interacts with.
Multiple host addresses can be provided as a comma-separated list to support high availability or load-balanced MySQL clusters. Each server listed should correspond to a matching port (if different) in the Port property.
Examples:
Specifies the port number used to connect to the MySQL server. This property supports both single-node and clustered environments. For clusters, you may specify a comma-separated list of ports that correspond to each server in the Server property.
This property defines the network port used to establish a connection to the MySQL database server. By default, MySQL uses port 3306.
If connecting to a high-availability or clustered setup, you may specify multiple ports as a comma-separated list. Each port should match the corresponding entry in the Server list.
Examples:
Specifies the authenticating user's user ID.
The authenticating server requires both User and Password to validate the user's identity.
Specifies the authenticating user's password.
The authenticating server requires both User and Password to validate the user's identity.
Specifies the name of the MySQL database to connect to by default. This determines the active schema used for queries unless explicitly overridden.
This property defines the default database (schema) that the Sync App connects to when establishing a connection to the MySQL Server. Set this property to limit the connection to a specific database, which can improve performance, simplify metadata discovery, and reduce accidental cross-database access.
If set, all queries operate within the context of the specified database. If not set, the Sync App exposes tables and views from all accessible databases on the server.
Example:
Database = "inventory"Note: In shared environments with multiple databases, explicitly setting the Database is recommended to avoid ambiguity and ensure consistent behavior across applications.
Specifies the Windows domain name to use when the AuthScheme is NTLM, which enables Windows Integrated Authentication using the NTLM protocol. This value is required if the user account belongs to a domain other than the local machine or default network domain.
By default, the Sync App uses the domain of the local machine it is running on or, if applicable, the domain of the machine hosting the MySQL instance.
Use this property to explicitly specify a different domain if you are connecting to a remote server under a different Active Directory domain, or if you want to override the default behavior for testing or deployment.
Example:
Domain = "CORPDOMAIN"Note: Ensure that the user credentials provided (via the User and Password properties) are valid for the specified domain. Failure to do so may result in authentication errors.
Specifies the version of the NTLM protocol to use when authenticating with Windows credentials. This setting is only applicable when AuthScheme=NTLM.
This property allows you to control which version of the NTLM authentication protocol is used. Two versions are supported:
Set this property to 2 to comply with modern security policies and Active Directory environments that require NTLMv2. Use 1 only if you are connecting to legacy systems that do not support NTLMv2.
Note: Some domain controllers may reject NTLMv1 requests due to security policy restrictions. If authentication fails with version 1, try setting NTLMVersion=2.
Specifies the Windows user account to be used when authenticating with NTLM. This value is only applicable when AuthScheme=NTLM and is used to explicitly identify the integrated user for domain-based authentication.
This property sets the user identity that the Sync App uses when performing Windows (NTLM) authentication. It can be used to explicitly set a user for NTLM authentication when the default Windows identity should not be used. It can also be used when running applications or services under a different Windows user context than the host process.
You may specify the user as DOMAIN\\Username or Username (if the Domain property is set separately).
Example:
IntegratedUser = "CORP\\jdoe"Note: This property is optional. If not set, the system attempts to use the current Windows user context (the user running the process or service). It is used in conjunction with the Domain and Password properties when performing NTLM login.
This property determines whether Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is enabled for communication. By default, SSL is set to 'false', meaning that communications are not encrypted unless explicitly enabled.
This property specifies whether the Sync App attempts to establish secure connections using TLS/SSL when communicating with a server. When enabled (set to 'true'), the system initiates a TLS/SSL handshake to negotiate a secure communication channel.
This section provides a complete list of the AWS Authentication properties you can configure in the connection string for this provider.
| Property | Description |
| AWSAccessKey | Specifies your AWS account access key. This value is accessible from your AWS security credentials page. |
| AWSSecretKey | Your AWS account secret key. This value is accessible from your AWS security credentials page. |
| AWSRoleARN | The Amazon Resource Name of the role to use when authenticating. |
Specifies your AWS account access key. This value is accessible from your AWS security credentials page.
To find your AWS account access key:
Your AWS account secret key. This value is accessible from your AWS security credentials page.
Your AWS account secret key. This value is accessible from your AWS security credentials page:
The Amazon Resource Name of the role to use when authenticating.
When authenticating outside of AWS, it is common to use a Role for authentication instead of your direct AWS account credentials. Entering the AWSRoleARN will cause the CData Sync App to perform a role based authentication instead of using the AWSAccessKey and AWSSecretKey directly. The AWSAccessKey and AWSSecretKey must still be specified to perform this authentication. You cannot use the credentials of an AWS root user when setting RoleARN. The AWSAccessKey and AWSSecretKey must be those of an IAM user.
This section provides a complete list of the Azure Authentication properties you can configure in the connection string for this provider.
| Property | Description |
| AzureTenant | Identifies the MySQL tenant being used to access data. Accepts either the tenant's domain name (for example, contoso.onmicrosoft.com ) or its directory (tenant) ID. |
Identifies the MySQL tenant being used to access data. Accepts either the tenant's domain name (for example, contoso.onmicrosoft.com ) or its directory (tenant) ID.
A tenant is a digital container for your organization's users and resources, managed through Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD). Each tenant is associated with a unique directory ID, and often with a custom domain (for example, microsoft.com or contoso.onmicrosoft.com).
To find the directory (tenant) ID in the Microsoft Entra Admin Center, navigate to Microsoft Entra ID > Properties and copy the value labeled "Directory (tenant) ID".
This property is required in the following cases:
You can provide the tenant value in one of two formats:
Specifying the tenant explicitly ensures that the authentication request is routed to the correct directory, which is especially important when a user belongs to multiple tenants or when using service principal–based authentication.
If this value is omitted when required, authentication may fail or connect to the wrong tenant. This can result in errors such as unauthorized or resource not found.
This section provides a complete list of the OAuth properties you can configure in the connection string for this provider.
| Property | Description |
| OAuthClientId | Specifies the client ID (also known as the consumer key) assigned to your custom OAuth application. This ID is required to identify the application to the OAuth authorization server during authentication. |
| OAuthClientSecret | Specifies the client secret assigned to your custom OAuth application. This confidential value is used to authenticate the application to the OAuth authorization server. (Custom OAuth applications only.). |
| Scope | Specifies the scope of the authenticating user's access to the application, to ensure they get appropriate access to data. If a custom OAuth application is needed, this is generally specified at the time the application is created. |
Specifies the client ID (also known as the consumer key) assigned to your custom OAuth application. This ID is required to identify the application to the OAuth authorization server during authentication.
This property is required in two cases:
(When the driver provides embedded OAuth credentials, this value may already be provided by the Sync App and thus not require manual entry.)
OAuthClientId is generally used alongside other OAuth-related properties such as OAuthClientSecret and OAuthSettingsLocation when configuring an authenticated connection.
OAuthClientId is one of the key connection parameters that need to be set before users can authenticate via OAuth. You can usually find this value in your identity provider’s application registration settings. Look for a field labeled Client ID, Application ID, or Consumer Key.
While the client ID is not considered a confidential value like a client secret, it is still part of your application's identity and should be handled carefully. Avoid exposing it in public repositories or shared configuration files.
For more information on how this property is used when configuring a connection, see Establishing a Connection.
Specifies the client secret assigned to your custom OAuth application. This confidential value is used to authenticate the application to the OAuth authorization server. (Custom OAuth applications only.).
This property (sometimes called the application secret or consumer secret) is required when using a custom OAuth application in any flow that requires secure client authentication, such as web-based OAuth, service-based connections, or certificate-based authorization flows. It is not required when using an embedded OAuth application.
The client secret is used during the token exchange step of the OAuth flow, when the driver requests an access token from the authorization server. If this value is missing or incorrect, authentication fails with either an invalid_client or an unauthorized_client error.
OAuthClientSecret is one of the key connection parameters that need to be set before users can authenticate via OAuth. You can obtain this value from your identity provider when registering the OAuth application.
Notes:
For more information on how this property is used when configuring a connection, see Establishing a Connection
Specifies the scope of the authenticating user's access to the application, to ensure they get appropriate access to data. If a custom OAuth application is needed, this is generally specified at the time the application is created.
Scopes are set to define what kind of access the authenticating user will have; for example, read, read and write, restricted access to sensitive information. System administrators can use scopes to selectively enable access by functionality or security clearance.
When InitiateOAuth is set to GETANDREFRESH, you must use this property if you want to change which scopes are requested.
When InitiateOAuth is set to either REFRESH or OFF, you can change which scopes are requested using either this property or the Scope input.
This section provides a complete list of the SSL properties you can configure in the connection string for this provider.
| Property | Description |

| SSLClientCertSubject | Specifes the subject of the TLS/SSL client certificate to locate it in the certificate store. Use a comma-separated list of distinguished name fields, such as CN=www.server.com, C=US. The wildcard * selects the first certificate in the store. |
| SSLServerCert | Specifies the certificate to be accepted from the server when connecting using TLS/SSL. |
Specifies the TLS/SSL client certificate store for SSL Client Authentication (2-way SSL). This property works in conjunction with other SSL-related properties to establish a secure connection.
This property specifies the client certificate store for SSL Client Authentication. Use this property alongside SSLClientCertType, which defines the type of the certificate store, and SSLClientCertPassword, which specifies the password for password-protected stores. When SSLClientCert is set and SSLClientCertSubject is configured, the driver searches for a certificate matching the specified subject.
Certificate store designations vary by platform. On Windows, certificate stores are identified by names such as MY (personal certificates), while in Java, the certificate store is typically a file containing certificates and optional private keys.
The following are designations of the most common User and Machine certificate stores in Windows:
| MY | A certificate store holding personal certificates with their associated private keys. |
| CA | Certifying authority certificates. |
| ROOT | Root certificates. |
| SPC | Software publisher certificates. |
For PFXFile types, set this property to the filename. For PFXBlob types, set this property to the binary contents of the file in PKCS12 format.
Specifies the type of key store containing the TLS/SSL client certificate for SSL Client Authentication. Choose from a variety of key store formats depending on your platform and certificate source.
This property determines the format and location of the key store used to provide the client certificate. Supported values include platform-specific and universal key store formats. The available values and their usage are:
| USER - default | For Windows, this specifies that the certificate store is a certificate store owned by the current user. Note that this store type is not available in Java. |
| MACHINE | For Windows, this specifies that the certificate store is a machine store. Note that this store type is not available in Java. |
| PFXFILE | The certificate store is the name of a PFX (PKCS12) file containing certificates. |
| PFXBLOB | The certificate store is a string (base-64-encoded) representing a certificate store in PFX (PKCS12) format. |
| JKSFILE | The certificate store is the name of a Java key store (JKS) file containing certificates. Note that this store type is only available in Java. |
| JKSBLOB | The certificate store is a string (base-64-encoded) representing a certificate store in JKS format. Note that this store type is only available in Java. |
| PEMKEY_FILE | The certificate store is the name of a PEM-encoded file that contains a private key and an optional certificate. |

| XMLFILE | The certificate store is the name of a file that contains a certificate in XML format. |
| XMLBLOB | The certificate store is a string that contains a certificate in XML format. |
| BCFKSFILE | The certificate store is the name of a file that contains an Bouncy Castle keystore. |
| BCFKSBLOB | The certificate store is a string (base-64-encoded) that contains a Bouncy Castle keystore. |
Specifes the password required to access the TLS/SSL client certificate store. Use this property if the selected certificate store type requires a password for access.
This property provides the password needed to open a password-protected certificate store. This property is necessary when using certificate stores that require a password for decryption, as is often recommended for PFX or JKS type stores.
If the certificate store type does not require a password, for example USER or MACHINE on Windows, this property can be left blank. Ensure that the password matches the one associated with the specified certificate store to avoid authentication errors.
Specifes the subject of the TLS/SSL client certificate to locate it in the certificate store. Use a comma-separated list of distinguished name fields, such as CN=www.server.com, C=US. The wildcard * selects the first certificate in the store.
This property determines which client certificate to load based on its subject. The Sync App searches for a certificate that exactly matches the specified subject. If no exact match is found, the Sync App looks for certificates containing the value of the subject. If no match is found, no certificate is selected.
The subject should follow the standard format of a comma-separated list of distinguished name fields and values. For example, CN=www.server.com, OU=Test, C=US. Common fields include the following:
| Field | Meaning |
| CN | Common Name. This is commonly a host name like www.server.com. |
| O | Organization |
| OU | Organizational Unit |
| L | Locality |
| S | State |
| C | Country |
| E | Email Address |
Note: If any field contains special characters, such as commas, the value must be quoted. For example: CN="Example, Inc.", C=US.
Specifies the certificate to be accepted from the server when connecting using TLS/SSL.
If you are using a TLS/SSL connection, use this property to specify the TLS/SSL certificate to be accepted from the server. If you specify a value for this property, all other certificates that are not trusted by the machine are rejected.
This property can take the following forms:
| Description | Example |
| A full PEM Certificate (example shortened for brevity) | -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- MIIChTCCAe4CAQAwDQYJKoZIhv......Qw== -----END CERTIFICATE----- |
| A path to a local file containing the certificate | C:\cert.cer |
| The public key (example shortened for brevity) | -----BEGIN RSA PUBLIC KEY----- MIGfMA0GCSq......AQAB -----END RSA PUBLIC KEY----- |
| The MD5 Thumbprint (hex values can also be either space- or colon-separated) | ecadbdda5a1529c58a1e9e09828d70e4 |
| The SHA1 Thumbprint (hex values can also be either space- or colon-separated) | 34a929226ae0819f2ec14b4a3d904f801cbb150d |
Note: It is possible to use '*' to signify that all certificates should be accepted, but due to security concerns this is not recommended.

SSHClientCert must contain a valid private key in order to use public key authentication. A public key is optional, if one is not included then the Sync App generates it from the private key. The Sync App sends the public key to the server and the connection is allowed if the user has authorized the public key.
The SSHClientCertType field specifies the type of the key store specified by SSHClientCert. If the store is password protected, specify the password in SSHClientCertPassword.
Some types of key stores are containers which may include multiple keys. By default the Sync App will select the first key in the store, but you can specify a specific key using SSHClientCertSubject.
The password of the SSHClientCert key if it has one.
This property is required for SSH tunneling when using certificate-based authentication. If the SSH certificate is in a password-protected key store, provide the password using this property to access the certificate.
The subject of the SSH client certificate.
When loading a certificate the subject is used to locate the certificate in the store.
If an exact match is not found, the store is searched for subjects containing the value of the property.
If a match is still not found, the property is set to an empty string, and no certificate is selected.
The special value "*" picks the first certificate in the certificate store.
The certificate subject is a comma separated list of distinguished name fields and values. For instance "CN=www.server.com, OU=test, C=US, [email protected]". Common fields and their meanings are displayed below.
| Field | Meaning |
| CN | Common Name. This is commonly a host name like www.server.com. |
| O | Organization |
| OU | Organizational Unit |
| L | Locality |
| S | State |
| C | Country |
| E | Email Address |
If a field value contains a comma it must be quoted.
The type of SSHClientCert private key.
This property can take one of the following values:
| Types | Description | Allowed Blob Values |
| MACHINE/USER | Blob values are not supported. | |
| JKSFILE/JKSBLOB | base64-only | |
| PFXFILE/PFXBLOB | A PKCS12-format (.pfx) file. Must contain both a certificate and a private key. | base64-only |
| PEMKEY_FILE/PEMKEY_BLOB | A PEM-format file. Must contain an RSA, DSA, or OPENSSH private key. Can optionally contain a certificate matching the private key. | base64 or plain text. |
| PPKFILE/PPKBLOB | A PuTTY-format private key created using the puttygen tool. | base64-only |
| XMLFILE/XMLBLOB | An XML key in the format generated by the .NET RSA class: RSA.ToXmlString(true). | base64 or plain text. |

Whether to tunnel the MySQL connection over SSH. Use SSH.
By default the Sync App will attempt to connect directly to MySQL. When this option is enabled, the Sync App will instead establish an SSH connection with the SSHServer and tunnel the connection to MySQL through it.
This section provides a complete list of the Firewall properties you can configure in the connection string for this provider.
| Property | Description |
| FirewallType | Specifies the protocol the provider uses to tunnel traffic through a proxy-based firewall. |
| FirewallServer | Identifies the IP address, DNS name, or host name of a proxy used to traverse a firewall and relay user queries to network resources. |
| FirewallPort | Specifies the TCP port to be used for a proxy-based firewall. |
| FirewallUser | Identifies the user ID of the account authenticating to a proxy-based firewall. |
| FirewallPassword | Specifies the password of the user account authenticating to a proxy-based firewall. |
Specifies the protocol the provider uses to tunnel traffic through a proxy-based firewall.
A proxy-based firewall (or proxy firewall) is a network security device that acts as an intermediary between user requests and the resources they access. The proxy accepts the request of an authenticated user, tunnels through the firewall, and transmits the request to the appropriate server.
Because the proxy evaluates and transfers data backets on behalf of the requesting users, the users never connect directly with the servers, only with the proxy.
The following table provides port number information for each of the supported protocols.
| Protocol | Default Port | Description |
| TUNNEL | 80 | The port where the Sync App opens a connection to MySQL. Traffic flows back and forth via the proxy at this location. |
| SOCKS4 | 1080 | The port where the Sync App opens a connection to MySQL. SOCKS 4 then passes theFirewallUser value to the proxy, which determines whether the connection request should be granted. |
| SOCKS5 | 1080 | The port where the Sync App sends data to MySQL. If the SOCKS 5 proxy requires authentication, set FirewallUser and FirewallPassword to credentials the proxy recognizes. |

This section provides a complete list of the Proxy properties you can configure in the connection string for this provider.
| Property | Description |
| ProxyAutoDetect | Specifies whether the provider checks your system proxy settings for existing proxy server configurations, rather than using a manually specified proxy server. |
| ProxyServer | Identifies the hostname or IP address of the proxy server through which you want to route HTTP traffic. |
| ProxyPort | Identifies the TCP port on your specified proxy server that has been reserved for routing HTTP traffic to and from the client. |
| ProxyAuthScheme | Specifies the authentication method the provider uses when authenticating to the proxy server specified in the ProxyServer connection property. |
| ProxyUser | Provides the username of a user account registered with the proxy server specified in the ProxyServer connection property. |
| ProxyPassword | Specifies the password of the user specified in the ProxyUser connection property. |

| ProxyExceptions | Specifies a semicolon-separated list of destination hostnames or IPs that are exempt from connecting through the proxy server set in the ProxyServer connection property. |
Specifies whether the provider checks your system proxy settings for existing proxy server configurations, rather than using a manually specified proxy server.
When this connection property is set to True, the Sync App checks your system proxy settings for existing proxy server configurations (no need to manually supply proxy server details).
This connection property takes precedence over other proxy settings. If you want to configure the Sync App to connect to a specific proxy server, set ProxyAutoDetect to False.
To connect to an HTTP proxy, see ProxyServer. For other proxies, such as SOCKS or tunneling, see FirewallType.
Identifies the hostname or IP address of the proxy server through which you want to route HTTP traffic.
The Sync App only routes HTTP traffic through the proxy server specified in this connection property when ProxyAutoDetect is set to False.
If ProxyAutoDetect is set to True (the default), the Sync App instead routes HTTP traffic through the proxy server specified in your system proxy settings.
Identifies the TCP port on your specified proxy server that has been reserved for routing HTTP traffic to and from the client.
The Sync App only routes HTTP traffic through the ProxyServer port specified in this connection property when ProxyAutoDetect is set to False.
If ProxyAutoDetect is set to True (the default), the Sync App instead routes HTTP traffic through the proxy server port specified in your system proxy settings.
For other proxy types, see FirewallType.
Specifies the authentication method the provider uses when authenticating to the proxy server specified in the ProxyServer connection property.
Supported authentication types :
For all values other than NONE, you must also set the ProxyUser and ProxyPassword connection properties.
If you need to use another authentication type, such as SOCKS 5 authentication, see FirewallType.
Provides the username of a user account registered with the proxy server specified in the ProxyServer connection property.
The ProxyUser and ProxyPassword connection properties are used to connect and authenticate against the HTTP proxy specified in ProxyServer.
After selecting one of the available authentication types in ProxyAuthScheme, set this property as follows:
| ProxyAuthScheme Value | Value to set for ProxyUser |
| BASIC | The username of a user registered with the proxy server. |
| DIGEST | The username of a user registered with the proxy server. |
| NEGOTIATE | The username of a Windows user who is a valid user in the domain or trusted domain that the proxy server is part of, in the format user@domain or domain\user. |
| NTLM | The username of a Windows user who is a valid user in the domain or trusted domain that the proxy server is part of, in the format user@domain or domain\user. |
| NONE | Do not set the ProxyPassword connection property. |
Note: The Sync App only uses this username if ProxyAutoDetect is set to False. If ProxyAutoDetect is set to True (the default), the Sync App instead uses the username specified in your system proxy settings.
Specifies the password of the user specified in the ProxyUser connection property.
The ProxyUser and ProxyPassword connection properties are used to connect and authenticate against the HTTP proxy specified in ProxyServer.
After selecting one of the available authentication types in ProxyAuthScheme, set this property as follows:
| ProxyAuthScheme Value | Value to set for ProxyPassword |
| BASIC | The password associated with the proxy server user specified in ProxyUser. |
| DIGEST | The password associated with the proxy server user specified in ProxyUser. |
| NEGOTIATE | The password associated with the Windows user account specified in ProxyUser. |
| NTLM | The password associated with the Windows user account specified in ProxyUser. |
| NONE | Do not set the ProxyPassword connection property. |
For SOCKS 5 authentication or tunneling, see FirewallType.
Note: The Sync App only uses this password if ProxyAutoDetect is set to False. If ProxyAutoDetect is set to True (the default), the Sync App instead uses the password specified in your system proxy settings.
Specifies the SSL type to use when connecting to the proxy server specified in the ProxyServer connection property.
This property determines when to use SSL for the connection to the HTTP proxy specified by ProxyServer. You can set this connection property to the following values :
| AUTO | Default setting. If ProxyServer is set to an HTTPS URL, the Sync App uses the TUNNEL option. If ProxyServer is set to an HTTP URL, the component uses the NEVER option. |
| ALWAYS | The connection is always SSL enabled. |
| NEVER | The connection is not SSL enabled. |
| TUNNEL | The connection is made through a tunneling proxy. The proxy server opens a connection to the remote host and traffic flows back and forth through the proxy. |
Specifies a semicolon-separated list of destination hostnames or IPs that are exempt from connecting through the proxy server set in the ProxyServer connection property.
The ProxyServer is used for all addresses, except for addresses defined in this property. Use semicolons to separate entries.
Note: The Sync App uses the system proxy settings by default, without further configuration needed. If you want to explicitly configure proxy exceptions for this connection, set ProxyAutoDetect to False.
This section provides a complete list of the Logging properties you can configure in the connection string for this provider.
| Property | Description |
| LogModules | Specifies the core modules to include in the log file. Use a semicolon-separated list of module names. By default, all modules are logged. |
Specifies the core modules to include in the log file. Use a semicolon-separated list of module names. By default, all modules are logged.
The Sync App writes details about each operation it performs into the logfile specified by the Logfile connection property.
Each of these logged operations are assigned to a themed category called a module, and each module has a corresponding short code used to labels individual Sync App operations as belonging to that module.
When this connection property is set to a semicolon-separated list of module codes, only operations belonging to the specified modules are written to the logfile. Note that this only affects which operations are logged moving forward and doesn't retroactively alter the existing contents of the logfile. For example: INFO;EXEC;SSL;META;
By default, logged operations from all modules are included.
You can explicitly exclude a module by prefixing it with a "-". For example: -HTTP
To apply filters to submodules, identify them with the syntax <module name>.<submodule name>. For example, the following value causes the Sync App to only log actions belonging to the HTTP module, and further refines it to exclude actions belonging to the Res submodule of the HTTP module: HTTP;-HTTP.Res
Note that the logfile filtering triggered by the Verbosity connection property takes precedence over the filtering imposed by this connection property. This means that operations of a higher verbosity level than the level specified in the Verbosity connection property are not printed in the logfile, even if they belong to one of the modules specified in this connection property.
The available modules and submodules are:
| Module Name | Module Description | Submodules |
| INFO | General Information. Includes the connection string, product version (build number), and initial connection messages. |
|
| EXEC | Query Execution. Includes execution messages for user-written SQL queries, parsed SQL queries, and normalized SQL queries. Success/failure messages for queries and query pages appear here as well. |
|
| HTTP | HTTP protocol messages. Includes HTTP requests/responses (including POST messages), as well as Kerberos related messages. |
|
| WSDL | Messages pertaining to the generation of WSDL/XSD files. | — |
| SSL | SSL certificate messages. |
|
| AUTH | Authentication related failure/success messages. |
|
| SQL | Includes SQL transactions, SQL bulk transfer messages, and SQL result set messages. |
|
| META | Metadata cache and schema messages. |
|
| FUNC | Information related to executing SQL functions. |
|

This section provides a complete list of the Schema properties you can configure in the connection string for this provider.
| Property | Description |
| Location | Specifies the location of a directory containing schema files that define tables, views, and stored procedures. Depending on your service's requirements, this may be expressed as either an absolute path or a relative path. |
| BrowsableSchemas | Optional setting that restricts the schemas reported to a subset of all available schemas. For example, BrowsableSchemas=SchemaA,SchemaB,SchemaC . |
| Tables | Optional setting that restricts the tables reported to a subset of all available tables. For example, Tables=TableA,TableB,TableC . |
| Views | Optional setting that restricts the views reported to a subset of the available tables. For example, Views=ViewA,ViewB,ViewC . |
Specifies the location of a directory containing schema files that define tables, views, and stored procedures. Depending on your service's requirements, this may be expressed as either an absolute path or a relative path.
The Location property is only needed if you want to either customize definitions (for example, change a column name, ignore a column, etc.) or extend the data model with new tables, views, or stored procedures.
If left unspecified, the default location is %APPDATA%\\CData\\MySQL Data Provider\\Schema, where %APPDATA% is set to the user's configuration directory:
| Platform | %APPDATA% |
| Windows | The value of the APPDATA environment variable |
| Linux | ~/.config |
Optional setting that restricts the schemas reported to a subset of all available schemas. For example, BrowsableSchemas=SchemaA,SchemaB,SchemaC .
Listing all available database schemas can take extra time, thus degrading performance. Providing a list of schemas in the connection string saves time and improves performance.
Optional setting that restricts the tables reported to a subset of all available tables. For example, Tables=TableA,TableB,TableC .
Listing all available tables from some databases can take extra time, thus degrading performance. Providing a list of tables in the connection string saves time and improves performance.
If there are lots of tables available and you already know which ones you want to work with, you can use this property to restrict your viewing to only those tables. To do this, specify the tables you want in a comma-separated list. Each table should be a valid SQL identifier with any special characters escaped using square brackets, double-quotes or backticks. For example, Tables=TableA,[TableB/WithSlash],WithCatalog.WithSchema.`TableC With Space`.
Note: If you are connecting to a data source with multiple schemas or catalogs, you must specify each table you want to view by its fully qualified name. This avoids ambiguity between tables that may exist in multiple catalogs or schemas.
Optional setting that restricts the views reported to a subset of the available tables. For example, Views=ViewA,ViewB,ViewC .
Listing all available views from some databases can take extra time, thus degrading performance. Providing a list of views in the connection string saves time and improves performance.
If there are lots of views available and you already know which ones you want to work with, you can use this property to restrict your viewing to only those views. To do this, specify the views you want in a comma-separated list. Each view should be a valid SQL identifier with any special characters escaped using square brackets, double-quotes or backticks. For example, Views=ViewA,[ViewB/WithSlash],WithCatalog.WithSchema.`ViewC With Space`.
Note: If you are connecting to a data source with multiple schemas or catalogs, you must specify each view you want to examine by its fully qualified name. This avoids ambiguity between views that may exist in multiple catalogs or schemas.
This section provides a complete list of the Miscellaneous properties you can configure in the connection string for this provider.
| Property | Description |
| AllowUserVariables | Specifies whether user-defined variables (prefixed with @) are allowed in SQL queries. When enabled, the driver treats these as in-query user variables instead of parameter placeholders, allowing advanced SQL scripting patterns, such as variable assignment and conditional logic. |
| Characterset | Specifies the default client character set used by the provider for encoding queries it sends to the server. |
| DateTimeTimeZone | Specifies the timezone to apply to DATETIME types. |
| EnsureKeepAlive | Setting this property to 'true' means that provider pings the server before performing a request, so the driver knows if the connection has been dropped since the last request. |
| MaxRows | Specifies the maximum number of rows returned for queries that do not include either aggregation or GROUP BY. |
| Other | Specifies advanced connection properties for specialized scenarios. Use this property only under the guidance of our Support team to address specific issues. |
| QueryPassthrough | This option passes the query to the MySQL server as is. |
| ServerTimeZone | Specifies the timezone identifier for the MySQL server, based on the current edition and platform. This setting controls how the driver interprets and converts datetime values between the server and client. |
| Timeout | This setting defines how long (in seconds) an operation is allowed to run before the system automatically considers it as having timed out. If the operation does not finish within the specified time, a timeout error is thrown. The default value is set to 30 seconds. |
| TinyInt1Type | Defines the presentation type used to display small integer values. |
| ZeroDatesToNull | This property determines whether Date and DateTime values consisting entirely of zeros (for example, '0000-00-00' or '0000-00-00 00:00:00') are returned as NULL values. By default, this property is set to 'true', meaning any invalid date or datetime values represented as all zeros is returned as NULL instead of their original value. |
Specifies whether user-defined variables (prefixed with @) are allowed in SQL queries. When enabled, the driver treats these as in-query user variables instead of parameter placeholders, allowing advanced SQL scripting patterns, such as variable assignment and conditional logic.
When set to 'true', the Sync App allows the use of user variables in SQL queries. User variables are prefixed by @ and can be declared and modified within the query itself, enabling more dynamic and script-like SQL execution.
Example:
SET @amount = 1000; SELECT * FROM Invoices WHERE Total > @amount;By default ('false'), the driver interprets any value prefixed with @ as a parameter marker to be replaced by external parameter values. This is more suitable for parameterized queries executed via application code.
Enable this property if:
Specifies the default client character set used by the provider for encoding queries it sends to the server.
By default, the Sync App processes queries as Unicode. If you set this property to another value, you may lose the ability to use some characters.
In most cases, you should keep the default setting.
Specifies the timezone to apply to DATETIME types.
By default the Sync App treats TIMESTAMP and DATETIME types the same. The ServerTimeZone property determines what the Sync App does when it encounters either of these types. It can be set to the following values (see its documentation for how to reference specific timezones):
It is also possible to treat DATETIME and TIMESTAMP values differently. For example, you may want DATETIME to be a "wall clock time" that is not subject to timezones, while keeping the zoned behavior for TIMESTAMP. DateTimeTimeZone option lets you configure a separate behavior that applies only to the DATETIME type. It can be set to the following options:
Note: The Sync App does not apply this value to DATETIME values set using prepared statement parameters. If you are using a platform timestamp type (such as java.sql.Timestamp or System.DateTime), the Sync App always adjusts the timezone of the input value to match the ServerTimeZone option.
Setting this property to 'true' means that provider pings the server before performing a request, so the driver knows if the connection has been dropped since the last request.
EnsureKeepAlive=true improves error reporting. The user receives a clean error message for connection drops instead of ambiguous socket errors or timeouts that happen later in the process.
The default value is 'false': the Sync App does not ping the server before performing a request.
Specifies the maximum number of rows returned for queries that do not include either aggregation or GROUP BY.
The default value for this property, -1, means that no row limit is enforced unless the query explicitly includes a LIMIT clause. (When a query includes a LIMIT clause, the value specified in the query takes precedence over the MaxRows setting.)
Setting MaxRows to a whole number greater than 0 ensures that queries do not return excessively large result sets by default.
This property is useful for optimizing performance and preventing excessive resource consumption when executing queries that could otherwise return very large datasets.
Specifies advanced connection properties for specialized scenarios. Use this property only under the guidance of our Support team to address specific issues.
This property allows advanced users to configure hidden properties for specialized situations, with the advice of our Support team. These settings are not required for normal use cases but can address unique requirements or provide additional functionality. To define multiple properties, use a semicolon-separated list.
Note: It is strongly recommended to set these properties only when advised by the Support team to address specific scenarios or issues.
| Property | Description |
| DefaultColumnSize | Sets the default length of string fields when the data source does not provide column length in the metadata. The default value is 2000. |
| ConvertDateTimeToGMT=True | Converts date-time values to GMT, instead of the local time of the machine. The default value is False (use local time). |
| RecordToFile=filename | Records the underlying socket data transfer to the specified file. |
This option passes the query to the MySQL server as is.
When this is set, queries are passed through directly to MySQL.
Specifies the timezone identifier for the MySQL server, based on the current edition and platform. This setting controls how the driver interprets and converts datetime values between the server and client.
Use this property to explicitly define the time zone of the MySQL server. This ensures correct handling of datetime fields, especially when the server and client are in different time zones.
The allowed inputs for this property are both edition-specific and platform-specific. Only Windows+.NET uses Windows timezone IDs, for example, "Pacific Standard Time" or "W. Europe Standard Time". Java and .NET on non-Windows machines use IANA timezone IDs, for example, "America/Los_Angeles" or "Asia/Shanghai".
Set this property to LOCAL, or leave blank, if the server and client are in the same timezone. In this case, no timezone conversion is applied.
This setting defines how long (in seconds) an operation is allowed to run before the system automatically considers it as having timed out. If the operation does not finish within the specified time, a timeout error is thrown. The default value is set to 30 seconds.
If the timeout value is set to 0, there is no timeout applied to the operation. This means the operation continues running indefinitely until one of two things happens: either the operation successfully completes, or the operation encounters an error.
Defines the presentation type used to display small integer values.
Set this property to one of the following display types:
This property determines whether Date and DateTime values consisting entirely of zeros (for example, '0000-00-00' or '0000-00-00 00:00:00') are returned as NULL values. By default, this property is set to 'true', meaning any invalid date or datetime values represented as all zeros is returned as NULL instead of their original value.
This property addresses how MySQL handles invalid Date or DateTime values, where a value of all zeros (for example, '0000-00-00' or '0000-00-00 00:00:00') is considered invalid. Retrieving such a value can result in parsing errors or unexpected behavior unless this property is set to 'true', in which case the system returns NULL instead.
If set to 'false', the system returns the original value of the invalid Date or DateTime as it is, which may cause parsing errors or inconsistencies during further processing.

Therefore, if a Contributor includes the Program in a commercial product offering, such Contributor ("Commercial Contributor") hereby agrees to defend and indemnify every other Contributor ("Indemnified Contributor") against any losses, damages and costs (collectively "Losses") arising from claims, lawsuits and other legal actions brought by a third party against the Indemnified Contributor to the extent caused by the acts or omissions of such Commercial Contributor in connection with its distribution of the Program in a commercial product offering. The obligations in this section do not apply to any claims or Losses relating to any actual or alleged intellectual property infringement. In order to qualify, an Indemnified Contributor must: a) promptly notify the Commercial Contributor in writing of such claim, and b) allow the Commercial Contributor to control, and cooperate with the Commercial Contributor in, the defense and any related settlement negotiations. The Indemnified Contributor may participate in any such claim at its own expense.
For example, a Contributor might include the Program in a commercial product offering, Product X. That Contributor is then a Commercial Contributor. If that Commercial Contributor then makes performance claims, or offers warranties related to Product X, those performance claims and warranties are such Commercial Contributor's responsibility alone. Under this section, the Commercial Contributor would have to defend claims against the other Contributors related to those performance claims and warranties, and if a court requires any other Contributor to pay any damages as a result, the Commercial Contributor must pay those damages.
5. NO WARRANTY
EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE PROGRAM IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Each Recipient is solely responsible for determining the appropriateness of using and distributing the Program and assumes all risks associated with its exercise of rights under this Agreement, including but not limited to the risks and costs of program errors, compliance with applicable laws, damage to or loss of data, programs or equipment, and unavailability or interruption of operations.
6. DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY
EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, NEITHER RECIPIENT NOR ANY CONTRIBUTORS SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOST PROFITS), HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE) ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THE USE OR DISTRIBUTION OF THE PROGRAM OR THE EXERCISE OF ANY RIGHTS GRANTED HEREUNDER, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
7. GENERAL
If any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, it shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of the terms of this Agreement, and without further action by the parties hereto, such provision shall be reformed to the minimum extent necessary to make such provision valid and enforceable.
If Recipient institutes patent litigation against a Contributor with respect to a patent applicable to software (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit), then any patent licenses granted by that Contributor to such Recipient under this Agreement shall terminate as of the date such litigation is filed. In addition, if Recipient institutes patent litigation against any entity (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Program itself (excluding combinations of the Program with other software or hardware) infringes such Recipient's patent(s), then such Recipient's rights granted under Section 2(b) shall terminate as of the date such litigation is filed.
All Recipient's rights under this Agreement shall terminate if it fails to comply with any of the material terms or conditions of this Agreement and does not cure such failure in a reasonable period of time after becoming aware of such noncompliance. If all Recipient's rights under this Agreement terminate, Recipient agrees to cease use and distribution of the Program as soon as reasonably practicable. However, Recipient's obligations under this Agreement and any licenses granted by Recipient relating to the Program shall continue and survive.
