How to connect to Suadeo Data from IntelliJ

The CData JDBC Driver for Suadeo enables you to access Suadeo as a JDBC data source, providing integration with rapid development tools in IDEs. This article shows how to use the data source configuration wizard to connect to Suadeo data in IntelliJ.

Create a JBDC Data Source for Suadeo

Follow the steps below to add the driver JAR and define connection properties required to connect to Suadeo data.

1. In the Data Sources window, right-click and then click Add Data Source -> DB Data Source.

2. In the Data Source Properties dialog that appears, the following properties are required:

   • JDBC Driver Files: Click the button next to this menu to add the JDBC Driver file cdata.jdbc.suadeo.jar, located in the installation directory.
   • JDBC Driver Class: In this menu, select cdata.jdbc.suadeo.SuadeoDriver from the list.

   • Database URL: Enter the connection URL in the JDBC URL property. The URL must start with jdbc:suadeo: and includes connection properties separated with semicolons.

     The driver uses the OAuth 2.0 Resource Owner Password Credentials (ROPC) grant to authenticate to Suadeo. Authentication occurs directly using your credentials; there is no browser-based authorization flow or refresh token.

     Set the following connection properties:

     • URL: The base URL of your Suadeo instance.
     • User: Your Suadeo username.
     • Password: Your Suadeo password.
     • AuthenticationName: The name identifier for the authentication configuration in your Suadeo instance. Different authentication names can be configured for different environments or use cases.

     When you connect, the driver sends your credentials to the Suadeo OAuth token endpoint, receives an access token, and uses it for all subsequent requests. A new access token is obtained automatically when needed during the session.

     Built-in Connection String Designer

     For assistance in constructing the JDBC URL, use the connection string designer built into the Suadeo JDBC Driver. Either double-click the JAR file or execute the jar file from the command-line.

     java -jar cdata.jdbc.suadeo.jar
     

     Fill in the connection properties and copy the connection string to the clipboard.

     A typical JDBC URL is the following:

     jdbc:suadeo:URL=https://mysuadeoinstance;User=username;Password=password;AuthenticationName=your_auth_name;

Edit and Save Suadeo Data

To discover schema information, right-click the data source you just created and click Refresh Tables. To query a table, right-click it and then click Open Tables Editor.
