When I bind SQL Database service to an application I can see credentials from application panel. But in case I've created a service and would like to work with it before I'm binding to any application, is it possible? I haven't find a way to see credentials, only internal tools to work with database.
Thank you.
Once you provision a new SQL Database instance, you need to enter the service details page in bluemix, find the 'Launch' button to go to the service page which will open up separately. On the service page go to Set up `-->` Connect Applications `-- >` Connection settings. You will get all the connection details except the username and password.
If you are not able to resolve the username and password then you have got two alternatives :-
1. Create a dummy application, bind it to your SQL Database, get the credentials from VCAP_SERVICES, and you can use them externally.
2. If you are looking for something only on `DB2` then you have another alternative called `DashDB` available in Bluemix. Here the settings are well defined, credentials are clearly available and will work even without binding the service to an application.
Hope this helps you. Thanks.

I am have AWS EC2 Server with my App Backend and Database there.
My new developer needs to upload few things in the Database and update Backend code but I don't want to give him the PEM.
He needs to SSH
Whats the best possible way to do it? I was thinking of creating an IAM User for him - but I only want him to give SSH Access, so permission would that be? I could only find a general full permission EC2 which would also give him permission to edit the Security Group and things like that.
I do trust him well, but I just don't want to give him full access in general.
What can I do?
Why not allow your developer to connect using session manager.
If you use this he can access the environment either in his browser or via the AWS CLI.
He should be able to mimic a regular session but without having the key, then when he's done you remove the permissions of the server. You can also enable logging to check the history of his sessions actions.
If you want to update code you should at some point take a look at using code deploy to have the code automatically rolled out without even accessing the server.
I have a problem when creating a Bluemix service - when I select Create Service for either the language translator or any other service, the page stays loaded and never creates the service. What may be the problem? Appreciate any help you can give me.
Looking at the URL in your screen cap, you are using the old Bluemix console, which is no longer supported. Log into the new console using your existing User ID and password, and try creating your service again.
I've got a Cloudant service that is associated with my Bluemix app. When it was setup, a username/password combo was created automatically. I accidentally shared the credentials (it is just a demo), so now I want to change the password. As far as I can see, there is no way to actually change the password - either on the dashboard or the site itself. Where is this done?
There is no UI to change your credentials. You can contact support. I recommend you create a new instance, use the Replication tab in the Cloudant console to migrate your database, and then delete the old one.
Service credentials are usually created by binding the service instance to an application. Not every service broker works this way, but most do. Simply unbinding the service:
cf unbind-service myapp myservice-instance
And then rebinding:
cf bind-service myapp myservice-instance
Should result in new credentials being generated to the same service instance. Since you can bind a service to multiple applications, each application generally gets different credentials (depending on the service broker implementation).
I have Mysql installed on google cloud instance and its running fine.
Earlier i had a separate google cloud sql instance ,but due to performance issues i installed mysql on my google cloud instance.Iam currently running the database from my google cloud instance.
The issues is that when it was a seperate sql instance i could access the database from Mysql Workbench.
But now that i have it installed on my google cloud instance,i can not access it from workbench.
Is there a way i can access it from my workbench.
Please advise and help
I assume that you have created user in the cloud MySQL instance by giving current public IP. Once you done with it go to the MySQL workbench and click on little plus icon. Then you get a window like below. You can give any name to the database. For the host name you must provide host address relevant to your MySQL instance. Once you done with give a username. To enter the password you must click on the Store in Vault enter it. Once you complete click on TestConnection. If it gives successful message then your connection is done. If not you must recheck inputs most input your public IP, because sometimes this change even after one or two hours. No need of filling Default Schema field. This might be helpful for your work.
Actually I need to access to another folder at different server at the same network. I am planing to generate a kind of active directory user to work with the web server and my data server. How can I add it to my IIS 8?
I can't find any link to add access to Authentication section at IIS.
appreciate any help.
Ok I found solution! Simple as few click!!!
you can do it with following my Guid:
Select Application Pool at IIS8
Right click on the related pool and select advanced Setting
Find Identity under Process Model section
Set your credential at Custom account section.
it is done and don't forget to recycle the application pool and restart your web services.
