Working with MySQL database

This section describes how to create or modify a connection to a MySQL database so that Synchronization Service could work with data in that data system.

To create a MySQL database connection, use the MySQL Connector of the Active Roles Synchronization Service.

The MySQL Connector supports the following features:

Table 54: MySQL Connector – Supported features

Feature

Supported

Bidirectional synchronization

Specifies whether you can both read and write data in the connected data system.

Yes

Delta processing mode

Specifies whether the connection can process only the data that has changed in the connected data system since the last synchronization operation. This reduces the overall synchronization duration.

No

Password synchronization

Specifies whether you can synchronize user passwords from an Active Directory (AD) domain to the connected data system.

Yes

Creating a MySQL database connection

You can create a new MySQL database connection in the Synchronization Service Console.

Prerequisites

Before configuring the connector, make sure that the Connector/NET fully-managed ADO.NET driver is installed on the machine running the Synchronization Service.

To create a new connection

  1. In the Synchronization Service Console, open the Connections tab.
  2. Click Add connection, then use the following options:
    • Connection name: Type a descriptive name for the connection.

    • Use the specified connector: Select MySQL Connector.

  3. Click Next.

  4. On the Specify connection settings page, use the following options:

    • MySQL server: Type the fully qualified domain name of the MySQL server that hosts the MySQL database that you want to participate in data synchronization operations.

    • Access MySQL server using: Type the user name and password of the account with which you want to access MySQL server. Ensure the account has sufficient permissions to perform operations (Read, Write) on objects in the database to which you want to connect.

    • Connect to database: Type the name of the database to which you want to connect on the MySQL server.

    • Advanced: Click this button to specify additional parameters you want to add to the connection string that will be used to access the MySQL server. In the dialog box that opens, click the Add Parameter button to specify the name and value of the parameter you want to add to the connection string.

    • Test Connection: Click this button to verify the specified connection settings.

  5. Click Next.

  6. On the Specify how to select and modify data page, use the following options:

    • Use data from this table: Allows you to select a database table that includes the data you want to participate in the synchronization operations. You can click Preview to preview the database table you have selected.

    • Use an SQL query to specify data: Allows you to compose an SQL query that provides a more flexible way for specifying the data for synchronization. For example, you can use this option to specify multiple database tables.

    • Configure Settings: Click this button to specify settings for modifying data in the connected system during synchronization operations. For example, you can specify the database tables in which you want to insert, update, or delete data during synchronization operations.

  7. Click Next.

  8. On the Specify attributes to identify objects page, use the following options:

    • Available attributes: Lists the attributes that are available in the external data system. Use this list to select the attributes whose values you want to use to generate a unique identifier for each object in the external data system. You can filter attributes by typing in the text box at the top of this list. To select multiple attributes, hold down CTRL and click to select attributes in the list.

    • UniqueID attributes: Lists the attributes whose values are currently used to generate a unique identifier for each object in the external data system.

    • Add->: Moves the selected attributes from the Available attributes list to the UniqueID attributes list.

    • <-Remove: Moves the selected attributes from the UniqueID attributes list to the Available attributes list.

    • Constructed UniqueID: Displays a combination of the attributes whose values will make up a unique identifier for each object in the external data system.

  9. To complete the configuration of the MySQL database connection, click Finish.

Modifying an existing MySQL database connection

You can modify the settings of an existing MySQL Connector with the Synchronization Service Console.

To modify connection settings

  1. In the Synchronization Service Console, open the Connections tab.

  2. Click Connection settings below the existing MySQL connection you want to modify.

  3. On the Connection Settings tab, click an appropriate item to expand it and use the options it provides.

    You can expand the following items:

  4. Click Save.

Specifying connection settings for a MySQL database connection

The Specify connection settings option provides the following options that allow you to modify the connection settings:

  • MySQL server: Type the fully qualified domain name of the MySQL server that hosts the MySQL database that you want to participate in data synchronization operations.

  • Access MySQL server using: Type the user name and password of the account with which you want to access MySQL server. Ensure the account has sufficient permissions to perform operations (Read, Write) on objects in the database to which you want to connect.

  • Connect to database: Type the name of the database to which you want to connect on the MySQL server.

  • Advanced: Click this button to specify additional parameters you want to add to the connection string that will be used to access the MySQL server. In the dialog box that opens, click the Add Parameter button to specify the name and value of the parameter you want to add to the connection string.

  • Test Connection: Click this button to verify the specified connection settings.
