# Set up ClickHouse connector

> C1 provides identity governance and just-in-time provisioning for ClickHouse. Integrate your ClickHouse instance with C1 to run user access reviews (UARs) and enable just-in-time access requests.

## Gather ClickHouse configuration information

Configuring the connector requires you to pass in information from ClickHouse. Gather these configuration details before you move on.

Here's the information you'll need:

* API Key ID
* API Key Secret

See the ClickHouse docs for information on how to acquire credentials: [View the documentation](https://clickhouse.com/docs/cloud/manage/openapi)

## Configure the ClickHouse connector

<Warning>
  To complete this task, you'll need:

  * The **Connector Administrator** or **Super Administrator** role in C1
  * Access to the set of ClickHouse configuration information gathered by following the instructions above
</Warning>

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Cloud-hosted">
    **Follow these instructions to use a built-in, no-code connector hosted by C1.**

    <Steps>
      <Step>
        In C1, navigate to **Integrations** > **Connectors** and click **Add connector**.
      </Step>

      <Step>
        Search for **ClickHouse** and click **Add**.
      </Step>

      <Step>
        Choose how to set up the new ClickHouse connector:

        * Add the connector to a currently unmanaged app (select from the list of apps that were discovered in your identity, SSO, or federation provider that aren't yet managed with C1)
        * Add the connector to a managed app (select from the list of existing managed apps)
        * Create a new managed app
      </Step>

      <Step>
        Set the owner for this connector. You can manage the connector yourself, or choose someone else from the list of C1 users. Setting multiple owners is allowed.

        If you choose someone else, C1 will notify the new connector owner by email that their help is needed to complete the setup process.
      </Step>

      <Step>
        Click **Next**.
      </Step>

      <Step>
        Find the **Settings** area of the page and click **Edit**.
      </Step>

      <Step>
        Enter the configuration information from the previous section.
      </Step>

      <Step>
        The connector's label changes to **Syncing**, followed by **Connected**. You can view the logs to ensure that information is syncing.
      </Step>
    </Steps>

    **Done.** Your ClickHouse connector is now pulling access data into C1.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Self-hosted">
    **Follow these instructions to use the ClickHouse connector, hosted and run in your own environment.**

    When running in service mode on Kubernetes, a self-hosted connector maintains an ongoing connection with C1, automatically syncing and uploading data at regular intervals. This data is immediately available in the C1 UI for access reviews and access requests.

    ### Resources

    [Contact C1's support team](mailto:support@c1.ai) to download the latest version of the connector.

    ### Step 1: Set up a new ClickHouse connector

    <Steps>
      <Step>
        In C1, navigate to **Integrations** > **Connectors** > **Add connector**.
      </Step>

      <Step>
        Search for **Baton** and click **Add**.
      </Step>

      <Step>
        Choose how to set up the new ClickHouse connector:

        * Add the connector to a currently unmanaged app (select from the list of apps that were discovered in your identity, SSO, or federation provider that aren't yet managed with C1)
        * Add the connector to a managed app (select from the list of existing managed apps)
        * Create a new managed app
      </Step>

      <Step>
        Set the owner for this connector. You can manage the connector yourself, or choose someone else from the list of C1 users. Setting multiple owners is allowed.

        If you choose someone else, C1 will notify the new connector owner by email that their help is needed to complete the setup process.
      </Step>

      <Step>
        Click **Next**.
      </Step>

      <Step>
        In the **Settings** area of the page, click **Edit**.
      </Step>

      <Step>
        Click **Rotate** to generate a new Client ID and Secret.

        Carefully copy and save these credentials. We'll use them in Step 2.
      </Step>
    </Steps>

    ### Step 2: Create Kubernetes configuration files

    Create two Kubernetes manifest files for your ClickHouse connector deployment:

    #### Secrets configuration

    ```yaml expandable theme={"theme":{"light":"css-variables","dark":"css-variables"}}
    # baton-clickhouse-cloud-secrets.yaml
    apiVersion: v1
    kind: Secret
    metadata:
      name: baton-clickhouse-cloud-secrets
    type: Opaque
    stringData:
      # C1 credentials
      BATON_CLIENT_ID: <C1 client ID>
      BATON_CLIENT_SECRET: <C1 client secret>

      # ClickHouse config
      BATON_CLICKHOUSE_CLOUD_API_KEY_ID: <ClickHouse Cloud API Key ID used as the username for basic authentication>
      BATON_CLICKHOUSE_CLOUD_API_KEY_SECRET: <ClickHouse Cloud API Key Secret used as the password for basic authentication>

      # Optional: include if you want C1 to provision access using this connector
      BATON_PROVISIONING: true
    ```

    See the connector's README or run `--help` to see all available configuration flags and environment variables.

    #### Deployment configuration

    ```yaml expandable theme={"theme":{"light":"css-variables","dark":"css-variables"}}
    # baton-clickhouse-cloud.yaml
    apiVersion: apps/v1
    kind: Deployment
    metadata:
      name: baton-clickhouse-cloud
      labels:
        app: baton-clickhouse-cloud
    spec:
      selector:
        matchLabels:
          app: baton-clickhouse-cloud
      template:
        metadata:
          labels:
            app: baton-clickhouse-cloud
            baton: true
            baton-app: clickhouse-cloud
        spec:
          containers:
          - name: baton-clickhouse-cloud
            image: ghcr.io/conductorone/baton-clickhouse-cloud:latest
            imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent
            env:
            - name: BATON_HOST_ID
              value: baton-clickhouse-cloud
            envFrom:
            - secretRef:
                name: baton-clickhouse-cloud-secrets
    ```

    ### Step 3: Deploy the connector

    <Steps>
      <Step>
        Create a namespace in which to run C1 connectors (if desired), then apply the secret config and deployment config files.
      </Step>

      <Step>
        Check that the connector data uploaded correctly. In C1, click **Apps**. On the **Managed apps** tab, locate and click the name of the application you added the ClickHouse connector to. ClickHouse data should be found on the **Entitlements** and **Accounts** tabs.
      </Step>
    </Steps>

    **Done.** Your ClickHouse connector is now pulling access data into C1.
