Configuring Custom Properties for Connectors¶

This guide describes how to configure custom properties for Privacera connectors. These properties allow you to override default connector settings to meet specific environment or operational requirements.

Location for Connector Properties¶

Each connector type has its own directory structure. Add the custom configuration file at the following path:

1

privacera/privacera-manager/config/custom-vars/connectors/<type>/<instance>/custom/connector-custom.properties

Example of Correct Placement:¶

1

privacera/privacera-manager/config/custom-vars/connectors/bigquery/instance1/custom/connector-custom.properties

Note: Replace:
• <type> with the connector type (e.g., bigquery, dremio, mssql)
• <instance> with the connector instance name as defined in your environment.

Steps to Configure¶

Follow these steps to add and apply custom properties for your Privacera connectors:

1. Connect to the Server¶

SSH into the server where Privacera Manager is installed.

1

ssh <your-server>

2. Navigate to the Config Directory¶

1

cd ~/privacera/privacera-manager/config

3. Create the Required Directory Structure¶

Create the full path if it doesn't exist:

1

mkdir -p custom-vars/connectors/<type>/<instance>/custom

4. Create or Edit the Connector Properties File¶

Create the file in the correct location:

1

vi custom-vars/connectors/<type>/<instance>/custom/connector-custom.properties

Add your custom configuration. For example:

1
2

fs.s3a.endpoint=https://s3.amazonaws.com
fs.s3a.connection.ssl.enabled=true

Repeat this process for each connector as needed, using the appropriate <type> and <instance> values.

Deploy Your Changes¶

After creating or modifying the custom connector properties, deploy the changes by following the standard Privacera deployment procedure:

1. Generate Helm Charts¶

1
2

cd ~/privacera/privacera-manager
./privacera-manager.sh setup

2. Apply the Configuration¶

1

./pm_with_helm.sh upgrade

3. Run Post-Installation Tasks (if needed)¶

1

./privacera-manager.sh post-install

Upon completion of these steps, the custom connector properties defined in the respective connector-custom.properties files will be applied to your Privacera deployment.
