Perform the following for adding the connectors for the databases MySQL, PostgreSQL, MariaDB, Sybase, and IBM Db2:
On the home page of the console, click Hosts.
In the left pane, click Database Connectors.
The Database Connectors page displays all the agents that have dbaudit package installed with the list of connectors.
Click Add on the bar for the required agent.
If you have already added a connector, you can modify it as required by clicking the required connector field.
Specify the following:
Type: Select the desired database from the drop-down menu.
DB Proxy Port: Specify the port number on which the Privileged Account Manager accepts the connection from database clients to connect to a specific database server. Privileged Account Manager maps this port number to a specific database that has a specific DB address and DB Port.
DB Server Address: Specify the IP address or host name of the database.
DB Server Port: Specify the port number of the database.
Connection Protocol: Select TCP for non-SSL connection and TLS for an SSL connection.
This option is visible only for the databases for which you can choose the connection methods.
|
Databases |
Connection Protocols |
|---|---|
|
Sybase |
You can choose TCP or TLS (SSL Connection) connection protocol. |
|
MySQL and MariaDB |
Privileged Account Manager dynamically selects the protocol based on the database client and database server configuration. |
|
PostgreSQL |
Privileged Account Manager supports only TCP protocol in this release. |
|
IBM Db2 |
Privileged Account Manager supports only TCP protocol in this release. |
Enable SHA Cipher Suites: This option allows Privileged Account Manager to use SHA cipher suites lower than SHA256 for communicating with database client and server.
By default, this option is enabled because most of the third party database clients use SHA cipher suites for SSL communication.
Click OK.
When you save the configuration, the agents containing the dbaudit package restarts for the connector configurations to take effect.
