Connect EA to AWS through SSH
« on: January 09, 2021, 09:58:14 am »
Hello, EA Experts,

I was working with a developer from the team on connecting EA to AWS to better collaborate and save time by making updates to the database directly based on the updates I make in the EA model.

We reached a step that we could not pass, and I need your help, please.

We have a server hosted on AWS and PostgreSQL runs locally on the server. Is there a way to SSH to the server using a key rather than a user name and password?

Thank you,

I would be asking somewhere on a PostgreSQL specific location if there is a way to configure the PostgreSQL ODBC driver to use an SSH connection. Once it's specified in the ODBC connection it should be completely transparent to EA.

Hello, Eve,

Thank you for your response.

I understood from your response that the PostgreSQL ODBC driver needs to be configured to use an SSH connection. Correct?

My answer is that if it is possible EA won't even know about it. It has to be a function of the communication between the server and the odbc driver.

Unfortunately, I don't know enough about PostgreSQL to know if that's a feature that it offers.
