Report Database Parameters

This section lets you specify the database type that is to function as the report database and the required credentials to connect to it.

Important! The Report Server is a CA common component that CA products can share. As such, the installer lets you configure the report database to database types and versions that other products support, but SiteMinder does not. For a list of supported database types and versions, see the SiteMinder r12.0 SP2 Platform Support Matrix.
