I am having problems (most likely lack of knowledge) with the Federated cmdb.

We are trying somehow to connect an external mysql database to our ucmdb. In our opinion the official documentation lacks in explaining the procedure.

No matter what we have tried, we always get the same error: „General error in data store "newDatastore".“

We click New Data Store, pick GenericDBAdapter and fill it out as follows:
host: servername
port: 3306
user: username
password: password
url: jdbc:mysql://servername/dbname (Also tried dbtype=mysql;dbname=<name>)

The URL part is the only thing that looks fuzzy to us, but may be the error is because of something else.

We have also tried following the documentation in the sixth chapter, „Replicating Data using the Generic DB Adapter“ but that got us nowhere.

If you could guide us in the right direction, it would be much appriciated.
