Update database connection settings

You can update your database connection settings if you configured an external database when setting up
CylanceON-PREM
. This section is not displayed when you use the database shipped with
CylanceON-PREM
. When updating the database connection settings, the web browser might auto-populate the database password with the user password stored in cache. It is recommended to click the "eye" icon to make sure the correct password is entered. This appears to affect the
Chrome
web browser only.
  1. In the console, on the menu bar, click
    Configuration > Settings
    .
  2. Click beside Database Connection Settings.
  3. Update the PostgreSQL database information.
    • Hostname
    • Port
    • Database User
    • Database Password
    • TLS/SSL
    • Verify Peer Mode
      With

      CylanceON-PREM
      will not validate the peer certificate.
      You can add the certificate after you configure the syslog settings. Make sure you save any changes to this section before navigating to the Certificates page (Configuration > Certificates) to ensure your changes are not lost.
  4. Click

    CylanceON-PREM
    can communicate with the database.
