Editing the Properties File Directly for Windows, Linux, and Mac

  1. Navigate to the directory where you installed Mirth® Connect.
  2. Open the mirth.properties file inside the conf folder.
  3. Edit the following properties as needed:
    • database: The type of database server to connect to (derby, mysql, postgres, oracle, sqlserver)
    • database.url: The JDBC URL connection string
      • If you need to connect using SSL/TLS, typically this is where you would add additional options to the URL. See Connect to Database using SSL/TLS for additional information.
    • database.driver: If you need to use a custom JDBC Driver class, enter that fully-qualified class name here.
    • database.username: Username for the database connection.
    • database.password: Password for the database connection.
  4. Save the file.
