Datasources

Datasources store information about your database or repository such as the type of database, the location of the repository, or credentials that might be associated with it. You must define a datasource in order to use it with Guardium® applications.

Creating a datasource definition
Use the Datasource Builder to create datasource definitions for use with Guardium applications.
Working with existing datasources
After you create a datasource definition, you can clone the datasource, modify the datasource, or delete the datasource.
Reporting on datasources
Guardium provides reports on the datasources that are in your environment and any changes made to them.
Defining a datasource using a service name
You can define a datasource that enables your users to connect to an Oracle database using the service name by using a custom URL.
Managing KDC definitions
If your datasource requires authentication using Kerberos, you can specify the information needed for Guardium to obtain a Kerberos ticket before making the connection.
