Database Application Example

In this example, you can see how to provide MySQL access with a DbVisualizer over SSH. Based on your DbVisualizer client, you may need to do a minor configuration change in order to access your client over SSH.

Open your DbVisualizer client to the requested database and follow these steps:

1. Go to the Properties > Driver Properties and search for the field useSSL. Based on your SSH server encryption (true / false), manually change the value to yes / no.

   

2. Go to Tools > Tool Properties.

3. Under Database Connection > SSH Settings, set these options:

   1. In SSH Known Hosts File, set the path to the proper client known hosts file (by default on mac ~/.ssh/known_hosts)

   2. Clear the option Require Password/Passphrase.

   

4. Click Apply.
