Connection in VS Code Extension

rf1242Apr 22 2025

Trying to import my SQL Developer connections to use in VS Code. The extension doesn't seem to offer a Kerberos authentication option and I'm unable to use my settings to create a connection. I don't use a username/password and the extension doesn't give me the option of leaving those blank.

I went to Export my connections in Dev in order to use the SQLcl method I saw, but it exports the connection file as XML not JSON (probably due to the version my company uses).

If I use the connmgr in SQLcl to import the connection it says the file type isn't supported.

Is there a way to set this up, or an import method I can use to get this working? Can I convert the XML connection file to JSON and use that? Is there a way to have my authentication come through the extension? Appreciate any help, thanks!
