Advanced Properties (Connections)

This dialog box is displayed if you click Advanced in the dialog box for creating or editing a database connection. It has the following tabs:

Proxy tab

This information applies to proxy connections.

Proxy Type: User Name for authentication by proxy user name and password, or Distinguished Name for authentication by proxy user name and distinguished name.

Proxy User: Name of the user to be used for authentication for this connection.

Proxy Password (if Proxy Type is User Name): Password for the specified proxy user.

Distinguished Name (if Proxy Type is Distinguished Name): Distinguished name for the specified proxy user.

SSH tab

This information applies to SSH (Secure Shell) connections.

Use SSH: Determines whether the SSH Tunnel will be used. If this option is not enabled, opening the connection will attempt to connect to the database directly.

Host: SSH server. SQL Developer will create an SSH session to this host, using the specified details.

Port: SSH port. The default port is 22.

Username: User name that will be used to authorize the SSH session.

Use Key File: Specifies that a key file should be used to provide authentication. The key file contains a private key that should correspond to a public key registered with the server. The server verifies that SQL Developer has access to the proper private key and thus the user is who he or she claims to be.

Key File: Path to the key file.
