Question

Thingworx SSH Connection

Hi All,

 

I want to know how to configure Thingworx to access a remote database over SSH? I found that the previous version of Thingworx had an SSH extension, but it seems that the 9.1 version of Thingworx does not support this extension. Can anyone provide me with some documents or related information? 

My Thingworx Version: ThingWorx-Foundation-Installer-postgresql-Windows-9-1-0

If I understand the question correctly, you can (and, probably, should) do it on the system level, without involving ThingWorx, using SSH Tunneling / Port Forwarding.

This way it will be transparent to ThingWorx how data travels, it just communicates with database using the "standard" port.

 

Your Op guys probably know about this, but, just in case, here is a general overview of the approach: https://www.ssh.com/academy/ssh/tunneling/example
