Installing and configuring the DBB server

The DBB server is packaged with WebSphere® Liberty and can be run out of the box without any customization for a trial or POC. To run production, it is recommended that you configure the application server to run with IBM® Db2®.

The DBB server is packaged in two ways, a .tar.gz file for native Linux® environments or an IBM Cloud Pak® Packaging (CASE) bundle for a Red Hat® OpenShift® Container Platform (OCP). Detailed information is provided in the following topics:

• To install the .tar.gz file on Linux, see Installing and configuring the DBB server on Linux.
• To install the CASE bundle to an OCP environment, see Installing and Configuring DBB server in a Red Hat OpenShift cluster.

In addition, the DBB server is pre-configured to use a Derby database. The Derby database is also included as part of the default setup. If you want to switch to a Db2 database, complete the procedure in Setting up Db2 as DBB server database.

JWT single sign-on authentication is available for configuration. To enable this feature on your server, follow the steps listed in Enabling JSON web token single sign-on authentication.
