Development servers can be accessed directly, but access to our production Postgresql servers is restricted. To use a SQL client from the VPN network, you need to connect through an SSH tunnel.<\/p>\n

In the connection configuration for a database connect, click the “SSH” tab.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

You can one-off configure an SSH tunnel for a connection, but the most efficient approach for setting up the SSH tunnel used to connect to all of our production databases is to create a tunnel profile<\/em>. The profile lets you type connection info in one time and use it for multiple servers; and, when you need to update a setting, you only have one configuration set to update.<\/p>\n

To create a profile, click the pencil to the right of the profile drop-down box.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Under the “Network Profiles” section, click “Create” to create a new profile.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Give the profile a descriptive name and click “OK”.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Check the “Use SSH Tunnel” box, enter the hostname (one of the ETL dev boxes is a good choice in our case \u2013 ltrkarkvm553.mgmt.windstream.net. Supply the username for the connection. You can use password authentication or, if you have a key exchange set up for authentication, select public key authentication. Click “Apply and Close” to save the profile.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Your profile will appear in the profile drop-down \u2013 select the profile …<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

And all of the settings will pop in \u2013 they’re grayed out here, if you need to update the SSH tunnel profile settings, click the little pencil again.<\/p>\n
