Connections & Security

Multi-Database Connectivity

Connect to a vast ecosystem of database engines - including relational, NoSQL, and cloud databases - all from a single application. Navicat provides a consistent visual experience across every platform, allowing you to manage multi-tiered application backends with total ease.

Connection & Object URIs

Accelerate setup and streamline team collaboration with full URI support across your environment:

Instant Connection Setup: Skip manual setup forms. Simply paste a standard database connection string or URI to automatically parse and populate your host, port, credentials, and default database settings in seconds.

One-Click Object Sharing: Share direct server object URIs with your team. Clicking a shared URI instantly opens the target database object right inside Navicat - eliminating schema-browsing guesswork and keeping everyone aligned.

SSH Tunneling

Establish secure, port-forwarded connections through intermediate bastion hosts without exposing database ports to the open internet.

SSL / TLS Encryption

Guarantee the confidentiality and integrity of your data in transit. Establish encrypted client-server sessions using standard SSL / TLS protocols to ensure sensitive data remains protected against sniffing or man-in-the-middle attacks.

Enterprise Authentication

Integrate smoothly into strict corporate security environments. Support for advanced authentication mechanisms - including PAM, LDAP, Kerberos, MFA, and SSO - ensures multi-layered access control and effortless compliance with enterprise identity providers.

Connection Profiles

Store multiple configurations under a single connection entry. Adapt seamlessly to changing network routes, host addresses, or security requirements without duplicating connection entries or re-entering credentials. Simply select the profile matching your current environment to switch settings instantly and keep your workspace clean.

Manage Connections

Centralize control over your entire connection portfolio from a single workspace. Easily keep your connection list organized and clutter-free without editing servers one by one.

Select multiple servers simultaneously to perform bulk actions - star high-priority targets, group related connections, apply color tags, toggle show/hide visibility, or clear out legacy endpoints in one go.
