Creating a Custom TOAD Launcher

For tunneling TOAD connections through the Secret Server SSH Proxy, see Using TCP Proxying with a Custom Process Launcher.

You can create a custom launcher for TOAD by entering custom command line parameters in the "Process Arguments" field.

  1. Search for Secret Templates,

  2. Select theLaunchers tab, and click Create.

  3. On the New Launcher page, select a Launcher Type:

    • Use Process if you would like to use Secret credentials to connect directly to the remote host.

    • Use Proxied SSH Process if you have SSH Proxy enabled, to prevent passing Secret credentials to the client by connecting to Secret Server's proxy to interact with the remote host.

  6. For Process Arguments, enter your own custom command line parameters, or the following:

    -C $USERNAME/$PASSWORD@$SERVER:$PORT/$DATABASE

  7. When finished, click Save.
