Configure a Connection Profile

From the CData ribbon, click Get Data and select From Presto connection/s to launch the CData Query window. To setup a new connection, you will have to click the New Presto Connection button. Here you can set the connection settings, test the connection, and save the connection profile.

Connecting to Presto

Set the Server and Port connection properties to connect, in addition to any authentication properties that may be required.

Securing Presto Connections

To enable TLS/SSL in the add-in, set UseSSL to true.

Authenticating to Presto

Presto supports authentication via either LDAP or Kerberos. If the Presto server does not have authentication set up, leave AuthScheme set to NONE (default).

The following subsections describe the requirements for authenticating with either LDAP or Kerberos.

LDAP

To authenticate with LDAP, set these connection properties:

• AuthScheme: LDAP.
• User: The authenticating user.
• Password: The authenticating user's password.

Kerberos

For details on authenticating with Kerberos, see Using Kerberos.

Connection Properties

The Connection properties describe the various options that can be used to establish a connection.

Managing Connections

After successfully authenticating to Presto you will be able to customize the data you are importing. To learn more about this, see Managing Connections.
