,
  • and testing
, and some production environments
  • . For
most
  • enterprise production environments

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
  • WSO2 Identity Server supports using any of the following as a user store
.
