When you test a connection, the Dynamic Data Masking service validates the database configuration and connection information.
Define all connection parameters before you test a database connection. If the Dynamic Data Masking service cannot connect to the database, check with the database administrator to verify the database configuration information.
Select a database node in the Management Console tree and click
Tree
Edit

The

Click
Test Connection
.
The Management Console sends a request with the database object to the Dynamic Data Masking Server. The Dynamic Data Masking Server reads the database object from the request, and tests connection to that database. A confirmation message appears if the connection is valid. If the connection fails, an error message appears.
