A security group is a virtual firewall that controls inbound and outbound traffic for the Elastic Compute Service (ECS) instances in the group. After you add a security group to a Graph Database (GDB) instance, the ECS instances in that security group can access the GDB instance. This topic describes how to set up a security group.

Background information

After you create a GDB instance, you must add a whitelist or a security group to the instance to allow access from external devices. For more information about security groups, see Overview of security groups.

Prerequisites

The security group must be in the same Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) as your GDB instance.

Add a security group

  1. Log on to the Graph Database console.
  2. In the upper-left corner of the page, select the region where the instance is located.
  3. Click the Instance ID of the target instance or Manage in the Actions column.
  4. In the left navigation pane, select Data Security.
  5. Click the Security Group Settings tab.
  6. On the Security Group Settings page, click Modify next to the security group.
  7. In the Security Group List dialog box, select the security group that you want.
  8. Click OK.

Clear a security group

If the ECS instances in a security group no longer need to access the GDB instance, remove the security group to ensure the security of your GDB instance.

  1. Select the Security Group Settings tab.
  2. Click Purge next to the security group that you want to delete.
