Figure 2
In Figure 2 above:
- Connection Name (required): The name to identify this connection with, such as 'MySQL connection'.
- Host (required): IP or the hostname of the MySQL server.
- Port (optional): Host server port number.
- Database Name (required): Name of the database.
- Choose Credentials (required): Choose from existing credentials or create new credential for connecting to MySQL server if 'Required Credentials' checkbox is selected.
Figure 3
In Figure 3 above, create new credentials if the Required Credentials checkbox was selected and you do not want to use an existing credential.
If you wish to connect using SSL, please select that option in the CONNECT USING SSL dropdown box. If you prefer to disable SSL, you can also do that here.
When connecting via SSL, Ascend only supports connecting to MySQL using TLS protocol versions >= 1.2. As a best practice, it is recommended to always connect via properly configured SSL/TLS to encrypt data in transit.
Figure 4
In Figure 4 above, use TEST CONNECTION button to check whether credentials are correctly configured and If SUCCESS, click CREATE AND USE CONNECTION.
