## Using SSH connection for open-source and on-premise editions

If you want to use SSH to connect to your MySQL database while using our open-source and on-premise edition, you need to place your private RSA SSH key called `id_rsa` to the following two folders:

* `processor/taskrunner/config/keys/`
* `backend/integrations/config/keys/`

&#x20;If you don't have RSA SSH keys yes, here you can learn how to [generate them](https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/connecting-to-github-with-ssh/generating-a-new-ssh-key-and-adding-it-to-the-ssh-agent#generating-a-new-ssh-key).&#x20;
