Connector Files

1. Upload the .jar file used for the source connection. Select Upload to choose the Microsoft SQL Server jar file. The current file and upload history are listed below the button.

   Drag and drop the file onto the Upload Files box to upload it, or select anywhere within the Upload Files box to choose the file on your computer.

2. (Optional) Upload the SQLJDBCDriver.config and krb5.config files used to connect to the source via Windows authentication. The current file and upload history are listed below the button.

   Warning
   Ensure that the file you upload is not vulnerable or malicious.

   Important

   This step is necessary if you select Windows Authentication as your Authentication Type. For more information, refer to Connection Settings.

   Once you upload the file to the selected location, you may need to restart the Cloud Connection Gateway (CCG) service on the Virtual Appliance. This is to make sure that the previous cached configuration file — if one exists — is removed and a fresh configuration file is used. For more information, refer to the Virtual Appliance Troubleshooting Guide in Compass. You may need to log in to your Compass account access this information.

   Note

   • For more information on Windows authentication and its requirements, refer to Windows Authentication and Kerberos.

   • For alternative methods to uploading the configuration files, refer to Upload Configuration Files.

   Drag and drop the file onto the Upload Files box to upload it, or select anywhere within the Upload Files box to choose the file on your computer.
