How to Configure the Database Server

Before you install CA Strong Authentication, set up a database to store user information, server configuration data, audit log data, and other information.

CA Strong Authentication supports a primary database and a backup database that can be used during failover and failback in high-availability deployments. Database connectivity can be configured in either of the following ways:

There are specific configuration requirements for each supported database. Use the following information to set up the database server yourself, or provide this information to your database administrator (DBA) when you request a database account.

Note: For JBoss Application Server, follow the below steps while configuring a backup database:

  1. Edit module.xml in <JBOSS_HOME>\modules\system\layers\base\sun\jdk\main with the following statements
    <path name="com/sun/rowset"/>	
    
    <path name="com/sun/rowset/internal"/>	
    
    <path name="com/sun/rowset/providers"/>
    

Restart the application server.

Important! To protect the database, it is recommended that you ensure that the database server is protected with firewall or other access control mechanisms and is set to the same time-zone as all related products.
