Bind a Sidecar Port to a Repository

Notice

Prerequisites:

  • A repository has been registered

  • Sidecar has been registered

  • A port has been added to the sidecar

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

To bind a repository to a sidecar:

  1. Log into ALTR via Okta.

  2. Verify you have one repository registered to ALTR and at least one sidecar port registered with the same database version as the repository before creating a binding.

  3. Select SettingsSidecars in the Navigation menu.

  4. Click the sidecar to view details.

  5. Click the Bindings tab.

  6. Click Create Binding.

  7. Select a Sidecar Port.

  8. Select a Repository.

  9. Click Create Binding.

Removing a binding prevents repository users from connecting to the bound repository using the sidecar.

To remove a binding:

  1. Log into ALTR via Okta.

  2. Select SettingsSidecars in the Navigation menu.

  3. Click the sidecar to view details.

  4. Click the Bindings tab.

  5. Locate the binding and click Remove; a modal displays to confirm.

  6. Click Remove Binding.
