The default configurations of WSO2 products have a single, embedded user store. If required, you can configure WSO2 products to connect to several secondary user stores as well. After configuration, users from different stores can log in and perform operations depending on their roles/permissions. You can also configure your own customized user stores and connect them with the products as secondary stores.

Configuring using the management console
...
By default, the configuration of the primary user store is saved in the user-mgt.xml file. When you create a secondary user store using the management console as explained above, its configuration is saved to an XML file with the same name as the domain name you specify. Alternatively, you can create this XML file manually and save it as follows:
- When you configure multiple user stores, you must give a unique domain name to each user store in the
<DomainName>element. If you configure a user store without specifying a domain name, the server throws an exception at start up. - If it is the configuration of a super tenant, save the secondary user store definitions in <
PRODUCT_HOME>/repository/deployment/server/userstoresdirectory. - If it is a general tenant, save the configuration in <
PRODUCT_HOME>/repository/tenants/<tenantid>/userstoresdirectory. - The the secondary user store configuration file must have the same name as the domain with an underscore (_) in place of the period. For example, if the domain is
wso2.com,name the file aswso2_com.xml. - One file only contains the definition for one user store domain.
