Connectors in Qntrl | Qntrl | Bridge | Online Help

Connectors

Connectors serve as a repository for storing and organizing the necessary parameters to establish a database connection. The connectivity parameters stored within a Connector are utilized to establish a secure connection between the Bridge and an in-house database.

When retrieving values from a remote machine's database, it is essential to use both Connectors and the Bridge in conjunction. This combined usage ensures secure access to the client's database.

A Connector can be reused in any Bridge to communicate with a remote database.
