ForgeRock OpenIDM 4: Installing a Repository for Production (PostgreSQL))

ForgeRock OpenIDM 4 uses OrientDB as its default datastore, which is good for learning and evaluation, but not suitable for a Production environment. In an earlier post on this space, we looked at the Configuration of MySQL database as the repository for OpenIDM 4. Picking up from there, because a site that I know of uses PostgreSQL instead of MySQL, made a quick demonstration on setting up OpenIDM 4 with PostgreSQL.

Enjoy!

ForgeRock OpenIDM comes bundled with OrientDB. But the use of OrientDB as an internal repository for OpenIDM is not recommended in a production environment. A list of supported JDBC repositories for production use with OpenIDM can be found here. In this post, you’ll find a screen-cast that demonstrates the configuration of MySQL as an internal repository for OpenIDM. The following video log, however, does not demonstrate the installation of OpenIDM, but if interested you can watch the OpenIDM installation here.
