# Test Database Connections

You can test database connections for applications using the <Tooltip tip="Auth0 Dashboard: Auth0's main product to configure your services." cta="View Glossary" href="/docs/glossary?term=Auth0+Dashboard">Auth0 Dashboard</Tooltip>. The configured database connections can be used to log in to your application.

To properly test, you should have already [set up your database connection](/docs/get-started/applications/set-up-database-connections) and [created a user](/docs/manage-users/user-accounts/create-users) for your database connection.

1. Navigate to [Auth0 Dashboard > Authentication > Database](https://manage.auth0.com/#/connections/database), and select the **Try** arrow next to the connection you want to test.
