The Kinetica connector allows for connection to Kinetica clusters.

For more information about using data connectors to pull data into Studio, please refer to the data connector guide.

Configuring a Kinetica Connector

Field	Description
Name	An arbitrary name for your data connector.
Description	(Optional) An arbitrary description for your data connector.
Host Server	The server host name/address for your Kinetica cluster. You can retrieve the host server name/address from your hosting provider.
Port	The port on which your database is listening for requests. You can retrieve the port from your hosting provider. (The default Kinetica port is 5432.)
Database name	The name of the Kinetica database to connect to.
API URL	(Optional) API Url of the gpudb server used for WMS, VTS, and GPUdb requests.
User name	The login name for the Kinetica user.
Password	The password for the Kinetica user.
Accept self-signed certificate	Enable to force acceptance of a self-signed SSL certificate. (Not recommended for secure connections.)
Server Public Key	Kinetica server public key/certificate for SSL connection.

With the exception of the Description and API Url (which is only necessary if utilizing a gpudb server), all fields are required.

Use the Test Connection button to test the connection after all required fields have been filled.

Click on the Confirm button to create a new Kinetica connector.

Self-Signed SSL Certificates

Studio allows for connecting to Kinetica clusters that are using a self-signed certificate for SSL encryption. This option provides additional convenience if the SSL certificate for your Kinetica instance is not CA signed.

Enable the Accept self-signed certificate option to accept a self-signed certificate in lieu of providing Studio a public certificate/key.

Caution: We recommend that you do not rely on using self-signed certificates for connections to confidential data.
