  • Yes we can do the same for MySql As well

    Like you know, Create a schema in Mysql give grant permissions for that schema + (ddl, dml...etc) permissions with this you need to have MySql username & password for configuring userName then password in AdminConsole

    Now add that credentials in Admin Console of your environment

    Finally your good to create dataStore now. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong here.

  • Thank you. But, I understand the process of adding the data source. Also, i know how to get SQl username and password.

    My question is how can an Active Directory account (e.g amazon\<username>) be used to configure the SQL connection when adding a new business data source on-premise.

    Note: I don't have an issue using the SQL generated username and password. I am looking to see if AD user account can be used instead.

    Thank you.
