Preparing the database server
You must prepare a database server to store user and Wallet credentials for single sign-on.
You can install a new database server or use an existing database server.
You can use an IBM® DB2®, Microsoft SQL Server, or Oracle Database. For the supported database servers and versions, see "Hardware and software requirements" in the IBM Security Access Manager for Enterprise Single Sign-On Planning and Deployment Guide.
Tip: You can record the following values in Planning worksheet:
- Database host name
- Port number
- Database administrator user account
To prepare the IMS Server database
with:
- IBM DB2
- You must create a database before you start the IMS Server installation. See Preparing a database server with DB2.
- Oracle database server
- You must provide the schema owner username and password. See Preparing a database server with Oracle.
- Microsoft SQL Server
- You must provide the SQL Server administrator username
and password.
You can use the IMS Configuration Wizard to automatically create the IMS Server database.
Alternatively, you can manually create the database and specify its details when you install the IMS Server. See Preparing a database server with SQL Server.
