# How to modify Database Proxy port number

Alert

On the Database Proxy installation, this configuration is automatic with a default port number. Perform these steps **only** if the port number that you use isn’t the default number.

This article will guide you through a step-by-step process on how to set up a database to use it as a Database Proxy. **This configuration is only necessary when the port number that you use in your database isn’t the default number.**

### Requirements

- Be an admin user
- Start an SSH admin session into the vault. Access the [How to access a SSH admin session into the Segura™ platform](/v4-2/docs/administration-ssh-access) document to know how to perform this action.

## Set up the database

Attention

The command line must be typed inside an SSH admin session into the vault, using an application of your preference.

1. With the **SSH** admin session initialized.
Attention

The values `bind-port` and `listen_port`, must be filled in with the port number used in your database.

#### MS SQL Server database

1. At the session home screen, open the file **proxy-db-mssql.conf**, type:
  1. `vim /etc/senhasegura/proxy-db-mssql.conf`
  2. Change the `bind-port` value according to the used port number.
  3. Press **ESC**.
  4. Type `:wq`.
  5. Press **Enter**.
2. At the home screen type:
  1. `systemctl restart proxy-db-mssql`
3. Close the SSH admin session.

#### PostgreSQL database

1. At the session home screen, open the file **pgbouncer.ini**, type:
  1. `vim /etc/senhasegura/pgbouncer.ini`
  2. Change the `listen_port` value according to the used port number.
  3. Press **ESC**.
  4. Type `:wq`.
  5. Press **Enter**.
2. At the home screen type:
  1. `systemctl restart proxy-db-postgresql`
3. Close the SSH admin session.

#### Oracle database

1. At the session home screen, open the file **proxy-db-oracle.conf**, type:
  1. `vim /etc/senhasegura/proxy-db-oracle.conf`
  2. Change the `bind-port` value according to the used port number.
  3. Press **ESC**.
  4. Type `:wq`.
  5. Press **Enter**.
2. At the home screen type:
