Apache Cassandra with SSL
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:
From the main menu, navigate to and select Apache Cassandra.
In the Database tool window ( ) , 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.
You can find the downloaded JDBC drivers in the WebStorm configuration directory.
The IDE does not include bundled drivers in order to have a smaller size of the installation package and to keep driver versions up-to-date for each IDE version.
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:
In the Database tool window ( ) , click the Data Source Properties icon
.Press CtrlAltShift0S.

For more information about JSSE system properties, refer to 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 the Database tool window (Alt01) .
For more information about the Database tool window, 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. WebStorm will introspect and show them.
For more information about working with database objects in WebStorm, 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.
