Deploying and starting Jazz Authorization Server

After you complete the prerequisite tasks, deploy and start the Jazz Authorization Server.

Restriction: Jazz Authorization Server does not support basic authentication. Authentication methods supported by Jazz Authenticated Server are - Client Certificates, Form Based Authentication, Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML), and OpenID Connect (OIDC).
Note: Jazz Authorization Server is bundled with the Apache Derby database, but setting up a cluster of Jazz Authorization Server only supports enterprise databases such as Db2®, Oracle, or SQL Server.

After you configure a user registry, create a self-signed security certificate and keystore configuration for the Jazz Authorization Server, and make any other customizations to the WebSphere Liberty profile, deploy and start the server.

You can also configure ELM applications to run as Windows services. See Running ELM applications as Windows services for more information.
