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!

Provisioning Users to PostgreSQL Database Table Using ForgeRock OpenIDM

This one is rather uncomplicated. ForgeRock OpenIDM does provisioning well, be it to a Directory Server, a Database or even to several other external resources. The following video log demonstrates exactly that. You’ll see:

– Super quick installation of ForgeRock OpenIDM
– Installation of PostgreSQL database, creation of user with super user role in PostgreSQL, creation of a database and finally creation of a table
– Configure the OpenIDM Database connector to connect to the PostgreSQL database table created in the above mentioned step
– And finally see how the users from OpenIDM are provisioned on to the PostgreSQL database table

It’s all very simple and easy to understand. So enjoy!
