Create an Akamai WAF connection

Beta

This feature is in Beta. To use it, a workspace admin must turn on Lakeflow Connect for Akamai WAF from the Previews page. See Manage Databricks previews.

Create an Akamai WAF connection in Catalog Explorer to store authentication credentials for Lakeflow Connect ingestion. Any user with the USE CONNECTION privilege on the connection can then create Akamai WAF ingestion pipelines without needing direct access to the credentials.

For privilege requirements, see Connect to managed ingestion sources.

Prerequisites​

Complete the source setup. Use the credentials retrieved there to create the connection.

Create a connection​

  1. In the Databricks workspace, click Data icon. Catalog > Create > Create a connection.
  2. On the Connection basics page of the Set up connection wizard, specify a Connection name.
  3. In the Connection type drop-down menu, select Akamai WAF.
  4. (Optional) Add a comment.
  5. Click Next.
  6. On the Authentication page, enter the following credentials from Configure authentication to Akamai:
    • Host: The API hostname from the Akamai API client. Paste the host value as shown. Don't include https:// or a trailing slash. The host must end with .cloudsecurity.akamaiapis.net or .luna.akamaiapis.net. For example, akab-xxx-xxxx.luna.akamaiapis.net.
    • Client Token: The client_token from the API client. This value typically starts with akab-.
    • Client Secret: The client_secret from the API client.
    • Access Token: The access_token from the API client. This value typically starts with akab-.
  7. Click Create connection.
