Networks

Networks are configured and used at the project level. Currently only network items of type SSH Tunnel can be created.

Add network item

From the Your projects menu, select your project.
Navigate to the Networks tab.
Click Add network item.
Select a type from the Type drop-down. Available types are:
- SSH Tunnel: Can be used to access protected databases.
Provide a unique name for the network item.
Provide a description for the network item. This is optional.
Provide the server destination.
- This is the URL of the network item you want to use. This could be either host.com:port or 10.10.10.1:port.
- The port should be specified even if it's the default.
Provide your network username.
Provide your RSA private key in PEM format.
If the private key is encrypted, provide the passphrase. This is optional and depends on your settings.
Provide the Server Public Key. This is optional and depends on your settings.
- When this is provided, the SSH tunnel will perform mutual authentication on initiating a connection.
Warning

Matillion recommends you set this value for all network items. If this option is not set, the SSH server cannot be verified and therefore the connection is susceptible to man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks.
Click Create to create the network item.

You can then verify the connection is valid by clicking Test and store it by clicking Create.

Your new network item is listed in the Networks tab.
