The integration does not require a remote database connection, but it does require an SSH account and a writable directory. The SSH account must have access to the server. This account will also be used for DNSSEC functionality within PowerDNS. |

The integration requires a remote database connection, so will need a mysql user with permissions for remote administration. We highly recommend using ACLs to ensure that configuration only occurs from intended sources. For DNSSEC functionality, you will need a standard SSH user account withing your PowerDNS user group Please note that Views are not supported with the MySQL backend |
