OrientDB Direct Access

[erix]

Hi guys
I want to know is it possible to connect to Embedded OrientDB in BaasBox and edit data directly using tools like OrientDB Studio? If possible, could anyone give me some help and information?
Thanks

Hi.

You can tell to BaasBox to start an ODB daemon in order to accept incoming connections from other clients (be aware that this can be a security issue).

Here are the parameters you can pass to the start command:

orient.listener.enable=false  //enable/disable ODB process. Default false

orient.listener.ports="2424-2430" //ports on which the ODB has to listen. Default is 2424-2430 range (ODB default). It means that ODB will try to connect on the first free port between 2424 and 2430

orient.listener.address="127.0.0.1"  //Default 127.0.0.1, it means that only connections from localhost will be accepted 

For example:

./start -Dorient.listener.enable=true &

Then, in ODB 1.7.9 bin/ directory:

./console.sh

connect remote:localhost/baasbox admin <your_admin_pass>

Keep in mind that there are two private users that BaasBox uses to manage the database: "internal_admin", and "baasbox" that can be used by an attacker to try to access to the db, if you expose ODB to the internet, of course.

Also regular users, with their user/pass, can access directly to the db.

Finally, BaasBox uses its own schema and metadata, so be careful when manually change them, it could easily lead to data inconsistencies.
