Configure a Database Credential
Add your connection details and your Namirasoft applications can connect to your database. The steps below show you how to get and enter each one.
Create the credential
In the Namirasoft Credential Console, open Database, then click Create. Give it a Name you will recognize.
Select the engine
Set Type to your database engine: MySQL, Postgres, Mongo, Elasticsearch, or Clickhouse.
Enter the connection details
Where to find these depends on your engine.
- The Host and Port are where your database runs. How do I find them?
- The Database Name is the database you connect to. How do I find it?
- The Username and Password are the login. How do I find them?
- Or paste a single Connection String instead. How do I find it?
Enable SSL (optional)
On the SSL tab, turn on SSL and add the SSL CA, SSL Cert, and SSL Key. How do I get my SSL certificates?

Optionally add a Description, then click Apply.
Database FAQs
Answers to common questions about setting up database credentials.
1. Can one credential connect to more than one database?
Each credential targets a single database through its Database Name. You create a separate credential for each one, even on the same server.
2. What happens if my database password changes?
Your authorized applications read the password from this one credential each time they connect, so you update it in one place and they all use the new password automatically.
3. Do I enter separate parameters or one connection string?
You enter the Host, Port, Username, and Password separately, or you paste a single Connection String.
