Anyone from product team could help me ?

Is your JDBC url for postgres in the correct syntax, check to see if there are any special characters or try it with a test database to see if there is an issue with an of the connection parameters
r
Copy code
externalDatabase:
  host: 10.1.123.123
  user: test
  password: "test"
  existingSecret: airbyte-secrets
  existingSecretPasswordKey: DATABASE_PASSWORD
  database: test
  port: 5432
  jdbcUrl: "jdbc:<postgresql://10.1.123.123:5432/test>"
This is my setup. I am able to connect to the database using DBeaver, for example, using the same jdbc URL.
Thanks for your time, @Rajesh Koilpillai

not sure, similar issue over here https://github.com/dbeaver/dbeaver/issues/20577. change connection credentials to simple characters and retry
r
If I remove the database entry on global section, remove the entries existingSecret and existingSecretPasswordKey from externalDatabase section, and add user and password entries, in plain test, on externalDatabase section, I could make it work. Does it ring your bell ?
r
not sure about that
