Configuring MySQL connector in Dashboard
Prerequisites
- The database must be reachable from the network where the product is deployed (for example, via a private DNS name or a routable IP address).
- If a firewall is in place, ensure the database port is open.
- Create a user account with read access to database metadata (schemas, tables, and views) for the product to run the scanning process.
Creating MySQL Database Credentials
- Navigate to and from the left hand menu select MySQL.

- Click Add Credentials to create new MySQL connection credentials.

- Gather the required connection details. For example:
- Credentials name — any unique name, e.g., `PROD HR DB Credentials`
- Hostname — e.g., `mysql01.company.com`
- Port — e.g., `3306` (default MySQL port)
- Database name — e.g., `hrdb`
- Username — e.g., `hrdb`
- Password — e.g., `hrdb_password`

- (Optional) The connection uses the MySQL JDBC driver. If your environment requires additional JDBC properties, add them under Optional Settings. For example, to enforce SSL/TLS you can include:
- useSSL=true
- verifyServerCertificate=true
- Click Save & Create Scan to save the credentials and proceed to the scan configuration. The system will attempt to connect and will display an error if the connection
fails:
