Then you need to use this address instead of &quot;localhost&quot;. And in case you are not an experienced sys admin who knows how to set up a database server in a secure way, I suggest to not try that.</p> <p>BTW, &quot;localhost&quot; is DNS name that typically resolves to the IP address 127.0.0.1 which is defined as &quot;the local machine&quot;, not &quot;your local machine&quot;. In Appian cloud this would be the server Appian runs on.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
