Adding the HarperDB Connection Manager

1. Create a Visual Studio project with the "Integration Services Project" template.
2. In the project, right-click within the Connection Managers window and select New Connection from the menu.
3. In the Description column, select CData HarperDB Connection Manager and click Add...
4. Configure the component as described in the next section.

Alternatively, if you have an existing project and CData HarperDB Source or CData HarperDB Destination:

1. Right-click your CData HarperDB source or destination component in your data flow
2. Select Edit... to open an editor window.
3. Click the New... button next to the Connection manager: dropdown selector to create a connection manager.
4. Configure the component as described in the next section.

Connecting to HarperDB

Set the Server connection property to the hostname or IP address of your HarperDB instance. Set UseSSL to secure connections with TLS/SSL.

Authenticating to HarperDB

The component supports Basic authentication and token authentication. To authenticate, select the desired authentication method in the AuthScheme property, and set the necessary credentials described below.

Basic

Set AuthScheme to Basic. Set User and Password to a HarperDB user and password.

Token

Set AuthScheme to Token. The component supports Token authentication through the following schemes:

• Driver managed: Set User and Password to a HarperDB user and password. The driver handles obtaining and refreshing OperationToken and RefreshToken. Encrypted token credentials are stored at CredentialsLocation.
• User managed: Directly specify OperationToken and RefreshToken. The driver does not attempt to refresh or reacquire token credentials after the supplied tokens expire. The supplied tokens are located at CredentialsLocation but do not persist across connections.

The component also offers the following properties to govern token management in the Driver managed scheme:

• OperationTokenTimeout: this governs how long the driver attempts to use a supplied OperationToken before refreshing it. It should match the setting for operation_token lifetimes in HarperDB. It defaults to the default operation_token lifetime for HarperDB.
• RefreshTokenTimeout: this governs how long the driver attempts to use a supplied RefreshToken before refreshing it. It should match the setting for refresh_token lifetimes in HarperDB. It defaults to the default refresh_token lifetime for HarperDB.
