Configuring the Primary User Store¶

This documentation explains the process of setting up a primary user store for your system.

Info

The default User Store

The primary user store that is configured by default, is a JDBC user store, which reads/writes into an internal database. By default, the internal database is H2. This database is used by the Authorization Manager (for user authorization information) as well as, the User Store Manager (for defining users and roles).

Instead of using the embedded database, you can set up a separate repository and configure it as your primary user store. Since the user store you want to connect to might have different schemas from the ones available in the embedded user store, it needs to go through an adaptation process. We do the necessary adaptations depending on the user store type. We support the following primary user store types.

User store type	User store manager class	Description
read_only_ldap	`org.wso2.carbon.user.core.ldap.ReadOnlyLDAPUserStoreManager`	Use `read_only_ldap` to do read-only operations for external LDAP user stores.
read_write_ldap	`org.wso2.carbon.user.core.ldap.ReadWriteLDAPUserStoreManager`	Use `read_write_ldap` for external LDAP user stores to do both read and write operations.
active_directory	`org.wso2.carbon.user.core.ldap.ActiveDirectoryUserStoreManager`	Use `active_directory` 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 `read_only_ldap` .
database	`org.wso2.carbon.user.core.jdbc.JDBCUserStoreManager`	Use `database` for both internal and external JDBC user stores. This is the user store configuration which is configured by default.

This can be defined in the [user_store] section of the <APIM_HOME>/repository/conf/deployment.toml file.

    [user_store]
    type = "database_unique_id"
