Any use of the Beta Service is subject to the applicable Beta Services Terms provided at [Agreements and Terms.](https://www.salesforce.com/company/legal/agreements/) If you have questions or feedback about this Beta Service, contact the Data 360 Connector team at [datacloud-connectors-beta@salesforce.com.](mailto:datacloud-connectors-beta@salesforce.com)

| User Permissions Needed |                                                             |
| ----------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- |
| To create a connection: | System Admin profile or Data Cloud Architect permission set |

Before you begin:

- Enable the Beta connector through the feature manager. See [Enable Data 360 Features](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=data.c360_a_feature_manager.htm&type=5).
- Verify your admin has enabled firewalls on the system you want Data 360 to connect to by including these [IP addresses](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=data.c360_a_data_cloud_ip_address_allowlist.htm&type=5) to your allowlists.

1.  In Data Cloud, click **Setup**, and select **Data Cloud Setup**.

2.  Under External Integrations, select **Other Connectors**.

3.  Click **New**.

4.  On the Source tab, select Apache CouchDB and click **Next**.

5.  Enter a connection name, connection API name (auto-populated), and provide the authentication and connection details.

6.  For Authentication, enter the Apache CouchDB username and password to authenticate the user.

    1.  For the SSL Server Certificate, enter the whole SSL certificate string, an SHA-1 certificate string, or upload the string as a .pem file.

7.  For Connection, provide the URL in one of these formats.

    An IP address format like 62.248.98.34 or a cloud Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) for your Virtual Machine, for example, 62.248.93.34.bc.googleusercontent.com.

    The URL doesn't start with https://.

8.  To review your configuration, click **Test Connection**.

9.  Click **Save**.

After the connector details are accepted, the connection is created and listed under Connectors. You can now create data streams.
