Prerequisites

Whitelist CData IPs

To establish a connection to MariaDB, you need to allow access to MariaDB via CData’s IP. When hosting MariaDB behind a firewall, you must safelist these IP addresses in your firewall.

  • Range: 52.224.0.160 to 52.224.0.175

  • CIDR notation: 52.224.0.160/28

Ensure MariaDB Is Publicly Accessible

Provide a public facing IP/domain to connect to this data source. The following private IP ranges do not work:

  • 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255

  • 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255

  • 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255

  • 127.0.0.1 (aka ‘localhost’)

Setup Guide

Follow these steps to connect MariaDB to your CData Connect Cloud account:

  1. Open the Connections page of the CData Connect Cloud dashboard.

  2. Click + Add Connection in the upper-right corner.

  3. Type MariaDB into the search field, then click the data source name.

  4. On the Basic Settings tab of the new connection, enter a connection name or keep the default name.

  5. Enter the host name or IP address of the MariaDB server in the Server field.

  6. Enter the port for connecting to the MariaDB server in the Port field. This is 3306 by default.

  7. In the User field, enter the MariaDB username for authentication.

  8. Enter the user password in the Password field.

  9. (Optional) Enter the name of the MariaDB Database.

  10. At the top of the CData Connect Cloud Add MariaDB Connection page, click Save & Test.

    • If the connection test succeeds, a message indicates that your connection has been created. The Status on the Edit Connection page also changes to Authenticated.

    • If the connection test fails, ensure that you entered your login information correctly with no stray spaces or other characters. CData Connect Cloud displays error messages under the required fields with missing data. Some data sources require that you sign in directly to the source website. If you did not, an error message appears under the Sign in button. Correct the errors and try again.

    • Unsuccessful connections are saved as drafts and have a Status of Not Authenticated. You can return to the connection and authenticate it later.
