Connecting to a MySQL database
To successfully connect to a MySQL instance, the relevant MySQL JDBC driver must be installed in to the secure connector.
Attention: If Cast Iron® Express® detects
that the secure connector does not have the driver available, an error
message is displayed which contains information about how to install
the driver.
Procedure
- Download the driver from here.
- Go to the machine where your Secure Connector is running and stop the Secure Connector.
- Copy the file to Secure Connector install root\lib\plugins where Secure Connector install root is the directory in which the Secure Connector is installed. For example, C:\Program Files\IBM\Secure Connector.
- Start the Secure Connector.
