Connecting applications

You can use the official drivers and libraries provided by Neo4j to connect your application to AuraDB using a variety of programming languages.

Regardless of what language you use, you will need to provide the following information to connect to an AuraDB instance:

  • uri - The Connection URI for your AuraDB instance. You can copy this from the instance card or details page in the console.

  • username and password - The Username and Password for your AuraDB instance. You can copy or download these during the instance creation process.

It’s also possible to connect with SSO. For more information see Operations Manual → SSO

  • The server (Neo4j DBMS) contacts the identity provider (Okta, Entra ID, Google, etc.) and fetches the JSON Web Keys (JWKs) from the provider.

  • The identity provider responds with a JSON Web Token (JWT), a JSON file containing fields (claims) relative to the user (email, audience, groups, etc.).
