This is the main user store that is shared among all the tenants in the system. Only one user store can be configured as the primary user store. This documentation explains the process of setting up a primary user store. If you need more information on WSO2 Carbon user stores, see Configuring User Stores.
| Info |
|---|
By default, the embedded H2 database (JDBC) that is shipped with WSO2 products is configured as the primary user store, except for WSO2 Identity Server, which has an embedded LDAP as its primary user store. It is recommended to change this default configuration in the production system. |
Setting up the Primary User Store
The primary user store is configured in <PRODUCT_HOME>/repository/conf/user-mgt.xml file within <UserStoreManager> section.
...
Select the User store manager that suits your user store.
The following table lists the available User store manager implementations and their usage:User store User store manager class Description LDAP ActiveDirectory
org.wso2.carbon.user.core.ldap.ReadOnlyLDAPUserStoreManagerUsed to do read-only operations for external LDAP or ActiveDirectory user stores. LDAP org.wso2.carbon.user.core.ldap.ReadWriteLDAPUserStoreManagerUsed for external LDAP user stores to do both read and write operations.This is the default primary user store configuration in user-mgt.xml file for WSO2 Identity Server. ActiveDirectory org.wso2.carbon.user.core.ldap.ActiveDirectoryUserStoreManagerUsed to configure an Active Directory Domain Service (AD DS) or Active Directory Lightweight Directory Service (AD LDS). This can be used only for read/write operations. If you need to use AD as read-only, you must use org.wso2.carbon.user.core.ldap.ReadOnlyLDAPUserStoreManager.JDBC org.wso2.carbon.user.core.jdbc.JDBCUserStoreManagerUsed for JDBC user stores. This is the default primary user store configuration in user-mgt.xml file for all WSO2 Servers, except WSO2 Identity Server. Or you can configure your own custom user store manager as well
- Configure user store manager properties.
In the following pages, you can find the information on the properties that you need to configure in user store manager types. It provides the additional steps and recommendations specific to each user store manager.- Configuring a JDBC User Store
- Configuring a Read-Only LDAP User Store
- Configuring a Read-Write Active Directory User Store
- Configuring a Read-Write LDAP User Store
In
user-mgt.xmlfile, there are configurations for each user store manager, you can simply uncomment the correct user store configuration and fill the properties (All the other UserStoreManager configurations should be commented out or removed). But it is important to read each user store configuration document to find specific information that you need to follow when configuring particular user store.Info For primary user store you need to set TenantManager property under user store manager properties:
JDBC :
org.wso2.carbon.user.core.tenant.JDBCTenantManagerLDAP/AD :
org.wso2.carbon.user.core.tenant.CommonHybridLDAPTenantManagerInfo This is only applicable to the WSO2 Identity Server. Once you configure the primary user store, make sure you disable the default embedded user store from the system. To do this, open
<IS_HOME>/repository/conf/identity/embedded-ldap.xmlfile and make the following change to the enable property.Code Block language xml <EmbeddedLDAP> <Property name="enable">false</Property> ....................... </EmbeddedLDAP>Warning Server system administrator who is capable of all the actions in the system is configured within the user-mgt.xml. If you have not configured the system administrator yet, see Configuring the System Administrator.
- Now, restart the server.
