Astra DB Credentials

Use Astra DB Credentials to establish a secure and authenticated connection from HCL UnO Agentic AI Builder solutions to a DataStax Astra DB database. This allows your agents to perform scalable and serverless data operations powered by Apache Cassandra, without managing infrastructure.

Before you begin

  • A valid DataStax Astra DB account with at least one active database instance.
  • Application Token with necessary access privileges (read/write) for the target database.
  • Database ID and keyspace name for the Astra DB instance you intend to connect to.
Table 1. Mandatory fields
Option Description
Database ID

The unique identifier (ID) of your Astra DB database instance. This ID helps in connecting to the correct database.
