Ensure your Exasol instance meets this minimum version requirement before proceeding. ## Metadata Ingestion {% partial file="/v1.6/connectors/metadata-ingestion-ui.md" variables={ connector: "Exasol", selectServicePath: "/images/v1.6/connectors/exasol/select-service.png", addNewServicePath: "/images/v1.6/connectors/exasol/add-new-service.png", serviceConnectionPath: "/images/v1.6/connectors/exasol/service-connection.png", } /%} {% stepsContainer %} {% extraContent parentTagName="stepsContainer" %} ### Connection Options **Connection Scheme**: Specifies the SQLAlchemy driver scheme options required to connect to Exasol. **Username**: The username used to connect to the Exasol database. Ensure that this user has sufficient privileges to read all the metadata from Exasol. **Password**: The password associated with the user connecting to Exasol. **Host and Port**: Defines the host and port of the Exasol instance. Provide this as a string in the format `hostname:port`. For example: `localhost:8563` - If running the OpenMetadata ingestion in a Docker container and your services are hosted on `localhost`, use `host.docker.internal:8563`. **SSL/TLS Settings**: Specifies the mode or settings for SSL/TLS validation during the connection. Available options: **validate-certificate (Default)**: Enables Transport Layer Security (TLS) and validates the server certificate using system certificate stores. **ignore-certificate**: Enables Transport Layer Security (TLS) but disables validation of the server certificate. {% note %} This mode should not be used in production. It is useful for testing with self-signed certificates. {% /note %} **disable-tls**: Disables Transport Layer Security (TLS). Data is sent in plain text (no encryption). [!WARNING] This mode is not recommended for production and should only be used in debugging scenarios. {% note %} Ensure that the appropriate TLS setting is chosen based on your security and deployment requirements. {% /note %} {% partial file="/v1.6/connectors/database/advanced-configuration.md" /%} {% /extraContent %} {% partial file="/v1.6/connectors/test-connection.md" /%} {% partial file="/v1.6/connectors/database/configure-ingestion.md" /%} {% partial file="/v1.6/connectors/ingestion-schedule-and-deploy.md" /%} {% /stepsContainer %}
