Procedure

To configure the type of connection:

1

Open the Connect dialog box.

Click the Connect button for your federated database instance.

2

Choose the type of connection that you wish to configure.

You can choose one of the following options:

Standard connection - to configure this type of connection, you must do the following:
1. Add Your IP Address to the IP Access List
2. Create a Database User for Your Federated Database Instance
Private endpoint - to configure this type of connection, you must do the following:
1. Set Up a Private Endpoint for a Federated Database Instance
2. Create a Database User for Your Federated Database Instance

Note

If you specify 0.0.0.0 in your project IP access list, Atlas will accept all connections including those over PrivateLink.
