Configure the Key Store or Audit Logs to Use the Policy Store Database

After you configure the Policy Store, you can optionally configure databases. If the Policy Store is of a compatible storage type (that is, if the Policy Store is configured to be stored in a database that is also a valid storage option for the other database), you can configure the Policy Server to use the policy store database as one or more of the following:

• Key store
• Audit logs

Important! If you are using an LDAP database as your Policy Store, do not use the Policy Store database for audit logs. Audit logs cannot be written to an LDAP database. If you are using the SiteMinder sample data source (SmSampleUsers) as your Policy Store, do not use the Policy Store database for audit logs. Audit logs are not supported by the sample policy store.

To configure another database to be stored in the Policy Store database, set the Use Policy Store Database option that appears between the Database drop-down list and the Storage Options area whenever a database other than Policy Store is chosen from the Database drop-down list.

When the Use Policy Store Database option is selected, the Storage drop-down list and the context-sensitive Storage Options are grayed-out.
