Set up the Azure MySQL connection to start the flow of data into Data 360.

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

Before you begin:

- 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 Configuration, select **Connectors**.

3.  Click **New**.

4.  On the Source tab, select **Azure MySQL** and click **Next**.

5.  Enter a connection name, connection API name, and provide the authentication and connection details.

6.  For Username, enter the username configured to access your database.

7.  For Password, enter the password to authenticate the user.

8.  Enter a Connection URL that uses the following format, and provide the hostname and port.

    Provide the URL in this format: `{subdomain}.mysql.database.azure.com{:port}`

    1. Subdomains are 3–63 lowercase letters (a–z), numbers (0–9), or hyphens (-). Subdomains can't start or end with a hyphen.
    2. The port is optional. If included, the port is 4–5 numbers and prefixed with a colon (:).

9.  For Database, enter the Azure MySQL database that the user's credentials are authorized to authenticate to.

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

11. Click **Save**.

After the connector details are accepted, the connection is created and listed under Connectors.
