MariaDB Requirements
This section describes the requirements, access privileges, and other features of Data Source Solutions DSS when using MariaDB for replication.
Supported Platforms
- Learn about the MariaDB versions compatible with DSS on our Platform Support Matrix page (6.1.0, 6.1.5, 6.2.0, and 6.2.5).
Supported Capabilities
- Discover what DSS offers for MariaDB on our Capabilities for MariaDB page (6.1.0, 6.1.5, 6.2.0, and 6.2.5).
Data Management
- Learn how DSS maps data types between source and target DBMSes or file systems on the Data Type Mapping page. For the list of supported MariaDB data types and their mapping, see Data Type Mapping for MariaDB.
Data Source Solutions provides additional solutions for replicating data from MySQL. For more information, see section MySQL in Databases.
Connecting to Amazon RDS for MariaDB
To enable the DSS capture or integrate process to connect to Amazon RDS for MariaDB, you must allow inbound traffic on the database listener port to the system running the DSS process. If an DSS Agent is in place, then communication must be enabled for the system where the DSS Agent is running. When directly connected from an DSS Hub Server, the connection must be allowed for the DSS Hub Server. If the DSS system connecting to Amazon RDS for MariaDB runs in the same VPC as Amazon RDS for MariaDB, you can use the internal rather than public IP address for the service to allow access. It is recommended to restrict access to only the DSS system that requires access, rather than allowing broader or public access.
The default database listener port that must be opened for TCP/IP connection is 3306.
The port may have been changed from the default by an administrator.
Using Authentication Plugins
DSS supports using MariaDB authentication plugins for user authentication. For more information about authentication plugins, refer to the Authentication Plugins section in the MariaDB documentation. To use authentication plugins installed in a custom directory, you must define the environment variable MARIADB_PLUGIN_DIR. You can define this environment variable using the action Environment with parameters Name=MARIADB_PLUGIN_DIR and Value=path_to_directory.
