Connection Options

• Connection Scheme: Defines how to connect to MSSQL. We support mssql+pytds, mssql+pyodbc, and mssql+pymssql.
• Username: Specify the User to connect to MSSQL. It should have enough privileges to read all the metadata.
• Password: Password to connect to MSSQL.
• Host and Port: Enter the fully qualified hostname and port number for your MSSQL deployment in the Host and Port field.
• URI String: In case of a pyodbc connection.
• Database (Optional): The database of the data source is an optional parameter, if you would like to restrict the metadata reading to a single database. If left blank, OpenMetadata ingestion attempts to scan all the databases.
• Connection Options (Optional): Enter the details for any additional connection options that can be sent to MSSQL during the connection. These details must be added as Key-Value pairs.
• Connection Arguments (Optional): Enter the details for any additional connection arguments such as security or protocol configs that can be sent to MSSQL during the connection. These details must be added as Key-Value pairs.
  • In case you are using Single-Sign-On (SSO) for authentication, add the authenticator details in the Connection Arguments as a Key-Value pair as follows: "authenticator" : "sso_login_url"
  • In case you authenticate with SSO using an external browser popup, then add the authenticator details in the Connection Arguments as a Key-Value pair as follows: "authenticator" : "externalbrowser"
