Access Repository
There are two ways to access a repository:
Connect via the sidecar using impersonation, where ALTR generates a connection string for a user to “impersonate” a repository login without exposing the native credentials. Use this method if you need to grant access to a repository to many data consumers across a small number of repository logins.
Connect directly to the sidecar using native database credentials, where users can directly connect to ALTR’s sidecar using existing database credentials. Use this method if users already have credentials to the database and do not need to otherwise scale repository logins.
