Operating Systems/Databases/User Stores

  • All WSO2 Carbon-based products are Java applications that can be run on any platform that is Oracle JDK 7/8 compliantAlso, we do not recommend OpenJDK as we do not support it or test our products with it.
  • All WSO2 Carbon-based products are generally compatible with most common DBMSs. The embedded H2 database is suitable for development, testing, and some production environments. For most enterprise production environments, however, we recommend you use an industry-standard RDBMS such as Oracle, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MS SQL, etc. For more information, see Working with Databases. Additionally, we do not recommend the H2 database for use as a user store.
  • WSO2 Identity Server is shipped with a default embedded Apache DS. However, in a production environment, it is recommended to use an LDAP like OpenLDAP, due to scalability issues that exist with Apache DS.
  • For environments that WSO2 products are tested with, see Environments Tested with WSO2 Products. 
  • If you have difficulty in setting up any WSO2 product in a specific platform or database, please contact us.
