## Add the MariaDB Connector

<CommonDatasourceAddConnector datasource="MariaDB" title="MariaDB" destination={true} siteNameShort={siteNameShort} />

## Authenticate to MariaDB

After you add the connector, you need to set the required properties.

* **Server:** Enter the host name or the IP address of your server.
* **Port:** Enter the port for the MariaDB database. The default port value is **3306**.

{siteName} supports authenticating to MariaDB in several ways. Select your authentication method below to proceed to the relevant section that contains the authentication details.

* [**Password**](#password) (default)
* [**NTLM**](#ntlm)
* [**Azure Active Directory**](#azure-active-directory)
* [**Azure Password**](#azurepassword)
* [**Azure Managed Service Identity**](#azure-managed-service-identity)
* [**LDAP**](#ldap)

### Password

<CommonAuthSchemePassword siteName={siteName} datasource="MariaDB" />

### NTLM

To connect with NTLM user credentials, specify the following properties:

* **Auth Scheme:** Select **NTLM**.
* **Domain:** Enter the domain name for your Microsoft Windows (NTLM) login.
* **NTLM Version:** Select the version for you NTLM. The default version is **1**.

### Azure Active Directory

To connect with your Azure Active Directory credentials, specify the following properties:

* **Auth Scheme:** Select **AzureAD**.
* **Azure Tenant:** Enter the Microsoft Online tenant to which you want to connect. If you do not specify a tenant, {siteName} uses the default tenant.
* **OAuth Client Id:** Enter the client Id that you were assigned when you registered your application with an OAuth authorization server.
* **OAuth Client Secret:** Enter the client secret that you were assigned when you registered your application with an OAuth authorization server.

### Azure Password

To connect with an Azure password, specify these settings:

* **Auth Scheme:** Select **AzurePassword**.
* **Azure Tenant:** Enter the identifier (Id) of the Azure Tenant under which your OAuth and client applications were created. This Id is available under **Directory (tenant) ID** on the **Overview** page of one of the applications.

### Azure Managed Service Identity

<CommonAuthSchemeAzuremsi siteName={siteName} />

### LDAP

<CommonAuthSchemeLdap siteName={siteName} datasource="MariaDB" />

## Complete Your Connection

To complete your connection:

1. Specify these properties:
   * (Optional) **Database:** Enter the name of the MariaDB database.
   * **Use SSL** Select whether you want to enable Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). By default, the **Enable** checkbox is not selected.
2. Define advanced connection settings on the **Advanced** tab. (In most cases, though, you should not need these settings.)
3. If you authenticate with AzureAD, click **Connect to MariaDB** to connect to your MariaDB account.
4. Click **Create & Test** to create your connection.
