Configuring data access in Connector Designer

A new deployment of Connector Designer prevents all connections to external data sources. As the system administrator, you need to work with your users to specify the allowed hosts and provide any necessary trust certificates for the sources that your organization uses.

Procedure

To enable users and their connectors to access external data sources from Connector Designer:

  1. Specify the allowed hosts, one per line, in the analyze-deployment-tooling/configs/con-des-default/configuration/connector-designer/allow-list.txt file. For example:

    https://example.com
    https://example2.com
  2. For endpoints or databases that require TLS connections, you specify the trust certificates that connectors can use by adding their contents to the con-des-default/configuration/secrets/additional-trust-certificates.cer file.

    Important: All certificates must be in PEM format.

  3. Optional: If you experience performance issues, you can configure the Connector Designer container (for example, by changing the number of CPUs or the available memory) by editing the analyze-deployment-tooling/runtime-environments/runtime-default.properties file. For more information, see Configuring runtime environments.

  4. To update Connector Designer with your changes, run the following analyze-deployment-tooling command:

    ./scripts/deploy
