Graphing of server data using Neo4j on client PCs

Now I have two PCs, a client PC and a server PC, with Neo4j installed on each PC. When graphing data on the server PC, I used to connect from the client PC to the server PC via a remote desktop connection and graph the data using Neo4j installed on the server PC.

However, from now on, I would like to graph data on the server PC using Neo4j installed on the client PC, instead of using Neo4j installed on the server PC. So I created a new Project on the client PC's Neo4j Desktop, referring to the official Neo4j page, and went to "Add -> Remote Connection", but I did not know what to specify for the "Connect URL" and "Username/Password". I have been unable to specify what to specify in the "Connect URL" and "Username/Password" fields.enter image description hereenter image description here When connecting from a client PC to a server PC via remote desktop connection, I have specified the IP address (aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd), ID, and password of the server PC to connect to the server.

I would be very grateful if you, the experts, could give me some advice. Thank you in advance.

Solution

  • One way to get the right "Connect URL" value to use in Neo4j Desktop to connect to a remote Neo4j server (given that you already know how to use a browser like Chrome to connect to the remote server) is to slightly alter the browser URL.

    For example, suppose you use this URL (in the browser) to connect to the Neo4j Browser on the server:

    http://my-server.example.com:7474/browser/

    The correct "Connect URL" value to use would be (you can also use neo4j instead of bolt):

    bolt://my-server.example.com:7687
