<CommonDatasourceIntroDestination datasource="MySQL" siteName={siteName} />

## Add the MySQL Connector

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

## Authenticate to MySQL

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

* **Server:** Enter the host name or IP address of the server that hosts the MySQL database. To connect to the database from the same machine, enter **localhost** as the value for **Server.**
* **Port:** Enter the port number of the server that hosts the MySQL database. The default port value is **3306**.

{siteName} supports authenticating to MySQL 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**](#azure-password)
* [**Azure Managed Service Identity**](#azure-managed-service-identity)
* [**Aws IAM Roles**](#aws-iam-roles)
* [**Aws EC2 Roles**](#aws-ec2-roles)
* [**LDAP**](#ldap)

### Password

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

### NTLM

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

* **Auth Scheme:** Select **NTLM**.
* **User:** Enter the username that you use to authenticate to your MySQL account.
* **Password:** Enter the password that you use to authenticate to your MySQL account.
* (Optional) **Domain:** Enter the domain name for a Microsoft Windows (NTLM) security login.
* (Optional) **NTLM Version:** Select your NTLM version. The default version is **1**.

### Azure Active Directory

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

* **Auth Scheme:** Select **AzureAD**.
* **User:** Enter the username that you use to authenticate to your MySQL account.
* **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.

### AzurePassword

<CommonAuthSchemeAzurepassword siteName={siteName} />

### Azure Managed Service Identity

To connect with your Azure Managed Service Identity credentials, specify the following properties:

* **Auth Scheme:** Select **AzureMSI**.
* **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.username that you use to connect to your MySQL account.

### AWS IAM Roles

To connect with your IAM user credentials, specify the following properties:

* **Auth Scheme:** Select **AwsIAMRoles**.
* **User:** Enter the username that you use to authenticate to your MySQL account.
* **AWS Access Key:** Enter your Amazon Web Services (AWS) account access key. This value is available on you AWS security-credentials page.
* **AWS Secret:** Enter your Amazon Web Services (AWS) account secret. This value is available on you AWS security-credentials page.
* **AWS Role Arn:** Enter the Amazon Resource Name of the role that you want to use when you authenticate.

### AWS EC2 Roles

<CommonAuthSchemeAwsec2roles siteName={siteName} />

### LDAP

To connect with your LDAP credentials, specify the following properties:

* **Auth Scheme:** Select **LDAP**.
* **User:** Enter the username that you use to authenticate to your MySQL account.
* **Password:** Enter the password that you use to authenticate to your MySQL account.

## Complete Your Connection

To complete your connection:

1. Specify the following properties:
   * (Optional) **Database:** Enter the default database to which you want to connect when you connect to the MySQL server.
   * **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, AzureMSI, or AzurePassword, click **Connect to MySQL** to connect to your MySQL account.
4. Click **Create & Test** to create your connection.
