A connector environment is a named configuration for how to connect to a datasource. Connector environments define the information needed to authenticate to the HTTP or SQL data source.
Fields for all connectors environments:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | Either production, staging or development |
| Connector Host | A cloud or local computer that actually runs the connector function code. |
| Port | The communication endpoint. More info |
Additional fields for SQL connector environments:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| SSL | Whether to use Secure Sockets Layer. see more |
| Type | The type of database. Tulip supports: Microsoft SQL Server MySQL PostgreSQL OracleDB Snowflake DB |
| Database | The name of the database |
| User | The name of the user to authenticate the request |
| Password | The password used to authenticate the request |
Additional fields for HTTP connector environments:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| TLS | Whether to use Transport Layer Security. See More |
| Headers | Optional key/value pairs to include in the request header. See More |
| Authentication Type | One of 4 authentication types: No Auth: No authentication specified Basic Auth: Authenticate via username and password OAuth 2 (bearer token): Authenticate via prefix and token OAuth 2 (admin) If a connector function is called, the call will be authenticated with a Tulip user's credentials OAuth 2 (operator): If a connector function is called, the call will be authenticated with an operator's credentials that they enter after starting an app in the Tulip Player OAuth1.0: If a connector function is called, the call will be authenticated with a Consumer Key, Secret, Access Token obtained from the third party service the connector is authenticating to. Preferred signature being HMAC-SHA256, while more signature methods are available as well. If the environment uses "Basic Auth" or any "Oauth 2" method, the appropriate credentials must also be saved for that environment. |
| Username | Required if using "Basic Auth" |
| Password | Required if using "Basic Auth" |
| Prefix | Required if using "Oauth 2 - Bearer token" |

| Access Token URL | Required if using "Oauth 2- Admin" or "Oauth 2- Operator |
| Client ID | Required if using "Oauth 2- Admin" or "Oauth 2- Operator |
| Client Secret | Required if using "Oauth 2- Admin" or "Oauth 2- Operator |
| Signature Method | Required if using "OAuth1.0". It is a hashing algorithm used to generate the signature for the request |
| Consumer Key | Required if using "OAuth1.0". Value used by the consumer or client to identify itself to the service provider |
| Consumer Secret | Required if using "OAuth1.0". A secret used by the consumer or client to establish ownership of the consumer key |
