7.3 Understanding the Installation Process for the Identity Reporting Components

7.3.1 Understanding the Installation Process for Identity Reporting

The installation program for Identity Reporting performs the following functions:

  • Deploys the client WAR file, which contains the user interface components for reporting, to the application server

  • Deploys the core WAR file, which contains the core REST services needed for reporting

  • Deploys the RPTDOC WAR file, which contains the documentation of REST services needed for reporting

  • Installs, updates, or positions the JDBC driver that connects to the reporting database

  • Configures the authentication services for Identity Reporting

  • Configures the email delivery system for Identity Reporting

  • Configures the core reporting services for Identity Reporting

  • (Optional) Creates the user accounts for Identity Reporting

7.3.2 Understanding the Users that the Installation Process Creates

Identity Reporting requires a specific set of users and schema for each reporting database, which the installation program creates for you. The installation process uses the database administration credentials specified during the installation to create these users.

The following are the default names of these users:

User name

Description

postgres

Administrator of the PostgreSQL server

igrptuser

Created by Identity Governance and granted access to run and view reports for Identity Governance

idm_rpt_cfg

Owns the reporting configuration data and the Identity Manager reporting views

If you do not want the installer to create the database for you, you must manually create the database and use the SQL files to populate the databases. For more information, see Section 5.0, Creating Databases for Identity Governance and Components.
