Bind a Sidecar Listener Port to a Repository

After registering a sidecar and a repository, bind them together in ALTR to let the sidecar connect to the repository. Binding maps a sidecar listener port to a repository, allowing traffic to flow between them. A single sidecar can be bound to multiple repositories, but each port can only broadcast as one database type and version.

Prerequisites

• A repository has been registered.
• A sidecar has been registered.
• A listener port has been registered on the sidecar, with the database type and version matching what the repository’s database actually runs.

To bind a sidecar listener port to a repository:

1. Log in to ALTRNet through your identity provider (IdP).
2. Select Settings > Sidecars in the navigation menu.
3. Click the sidecar to view its details.
4. Click the Bindings tab.
5. Click Create Binding.
6. Select a Sidecar Listener Port.
7. Select a Repository.
8. Click Create Binding.

Remove a Binding

Removing a binding prevents data consumers from connecting to the bound repository through the sidecar.

To remove a binding:

1. Log in to ALTRNet through your IdP.
2. Select Settings > Sidecars in the navigation menu.
3. Click the sidecar to view its details.
4. Click the Bindings tab.
5. Locate the binding and click Remove. ALTRNet displays a confirmation modal.
6. Click Remove Binding to confirm.
