connect via system DSN?

[bayesian]

When we connect to a database, we have to supply connection credentials (username, password, etc). This means that all users connecting to a database need to have, in plaintext, a username and password. I'd prefer to distribute a system DSN to all users' computers via a GPO, and use that connection. Can dbForge MySQL connect via a system DSN rather than with a username/password?

i assume the answer is no.

Not sure if this is helpful to you, but did you not explore this:

From Devart:
https://www.devart.com/odbc/mysql/compatibility.html

From MySQL: (8.0 version but I believe there are versions for MySQL 5.7 as well)
https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/odbc/

Respectfully, Google is your friend.

dbForge for MySQL allows you to use ODBC drivers as data sources and work with them through a pre-created System DSN. As such a source we suggest: https://www.devart.com/odbc/mysql/compatibility.html

If a system DSN has already been configured that you want to use, select the Use System DSN option. Enter the System DSN or choose it from the dropdown that appears. Enter a Password if necessary. Optionally click Test connection above.
