Create an Apache Cassandra data source with SSL
note
You need to create and open a project from the Welcome Screen. Only after that you will see the DataGrip interface and will be able to create connections.
To connect to the database, create a data source that will store your connection details. You can do this using one of the following ways:
In the main menu, go to and select Apache Cassandra.
In the Database Explorer ( ) , click the New icon (
) in the toolbar. Navigate to Data Source and select Apache Cassandra.
Check if there is a Download missing driver files link at the bottom of the connection settings area. Click this link to download drivers that are required to interact with a database. For a direct download link, refer to the JetBrains JDBC drivers page.
Location for the downloaded JDBC drivers is the DataGrip configuration directory.
You can also use your drivers for the database instead of the provided ones. For more information about connecting to a database with your driver, refer to Add a user driver to an existing connection.
If there is no Download missing driver files link, then you already have the required drivers.
In Host, Keyspace, User, Password, and Port fields, specify connection details.
Open data source properties. You can open data source properties by using one of the following options:
Navigate to .
Press CtrlAltShift0S.
In the Database Explorer ( ), click the Data Source Properties icon (
).
In the Drivers tab, select Apache Cassandra.
In the Driver files pane, click ver. <version_number> and select
Latestor1.3.
Open data source properties. You can open data source properties by using one of the following options:
Navigate to .
Press CtrlAltShift0S.
In the Database Explorer ( ), click the Data Source Properties icon (
).
In the Drivers tab, select Apache Cassandra.
In the driver settings, click the Advanced tab.
In the VM options field, specify options for authentication.
Server authentication: your client verifies that the server is correct and trusted. The truststore must contain a public key of the server or the CA certificate that was used to sign the server key.
-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=<path_to_client_truststore> -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword=<truststore_password>Client authentication: the server verifies the client that tries to connect to the server.
-Djavax.net.ssl.keyStore=<path_to_client_keystore> -Djavax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword=<keystore_password>
tip
For more information about JSSE system properties, refer to the Java Secure Socket Extension (JSSE) Reference Guide.
Add the
sslenabled=trueoption to the JDBC URL. For example, jdbc:cassandra:/ ./localhost:9042 /?sslenabled=true Ensure that the connection to the database can be established using the provided details. To do that, click the Test Connection link at the bottom of the connection details area.
In case of any connection issues, refer to the Cannot connect to a database page.
(Optional) By default, only the default keyspace is introspected and available to work with. If you also want to work with other keyspaces, in the Schemas tab, select them for the introspection.
Click OK to create the data source.
Find your new data source in Database Explorer () .
For more information about Database Explorer, see the corresponding reference topic.
tip
To see more keyspaces under your new data source node, click the N of M button and select the ones you need. DataGrip will introspect and show them.
For more information about displaying keyspaces in Database Explorer, refer to the Show all databases or schemas tutorial.
For more information about working with database objects in DataGrip, refer to Database objects.
To write and run queries, open the default query console by clicking the data source and pressing F4.
To view and edit data of a database object, open Data editor and viewer by double-clicking the object.
