# Sybase

You can use the Sybase connector from the CData Sync application to capture data
from Sybase and move it to any supported destination. To do so, you need to add
the connector, authenticate to the connector, and complete your connection.

## Add the Sybase Connector

To enable Sync to use data from Sybase, you first must add the
connector, as follows:

<ol>
  <li>Open the **Connections** page of the Sync dashboard.</li>
  <li>Click **Add Connection** to open the **Select Connectors** page.</li>
  <li>Click the **Sources** tab and locate
  the **Sybase** row.</li>

  <li>
    Click the **Configure Connection** icon at the end of that row to open
    the **New Connection** page. This action opens the
    **Add Connection** dialog.

    **Note:** If the **Configure Connection** icon is not
    available, click the **Download Connector** icon to install
    the Sybase connector.
  </li>

  <li>Enter a name for your connection in the **Add Connection** dialog.</li>
  <li>Click **Add** to open the **Settings** tab for your connector.</li>
</ol>

For more information about installing new connectors, see
[Connections](https://docs.sync.cdata.com/26.4/en/connections/connections.md).

CData Sync supports authenticating to Sybase in several ways. Select your authentication method below to proceed to the relevant section that contains the authentication details.

<li>**User:** Enter the username that you use to authenticate to your Sybase account.</li>
<li>**Password:** Enter the password that you use to authenticate to your Sybase account.</li></ul>

### Kerberos

To connect with Kerberos, specify these settings:

* **Auth Scheme:** Select **Kerberos**.
* **Kerberos KDC:** Enter the this to the host name or IP Address of your Kerberos Key Distribution Center (KDC) machine.

2. Define advanced connection settings on the **Advanced** tab. (In most cases, though, you should not need these settings.)
3. Click **Create & Test** to create your connection.
