How do I set Data Source password from environment variable in DataGrip?

Question

To connect to DB I have to make an API call to generate a token. Lets say I store this in environment variable $TOKEN.

Now while setting up my data source in DataGrip, how can I tell DataGrip to read $TOKEN environment variable as its value will keep on changing? Because before opening DataGrip I will make the API call to generate the token and set in a environment variable via script.

Is it possible to read environment variable as a password in DataGrip?

Answer 1

There is no such feature out of the box.

You can create your custom plugin to provide this kind of authorisation. That is the matter of implementing of on class - com.intellij.database.dataSource.DatabaseAuthProvider

See this plugin as an example.
