To have Identity Governance run queries against the database, the application server must have access to the Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) driver file. If you are using PostgreSQL, the installer provides the JDBC driver file and copies it to the correct locations. If you are not using PostgreSQL, you must download the JDBC file from the website of the database you are using, and have it ready during the installation.
IMPORTANT:If you are not using PostgreSQL, you must perform these steps regardless of whether the Identity Governance installer is creating the databases. You must have a copy of the appropriate JDBC driver file located on the server where the Apache Tomcat instance is running for Identity Governance.
To add the JDBC file to the application server:
(Conditional) Ensure that you do not have an older version of the JDBC file or the installation fails. The directory is located:
Linux: /opt/netiq/idm/apps/tomcat/lib directory
Windows: c:\netiq\idm\apps\tomcat\lib directory
(Conditional) If you are not using PostgreSQL, download the appropriate JDBC file for your database. For more information, see Section 2.4.2, Database Requirements.
(Conditional) If you are allowing the installer to create the databases, copy the JDBC driver file to a temporary directory on the server where the Apache Tomcat server is running. The Identity Governance installer copies the JDBC driver to the correct location.
(Conditional) If you are manually creating the databases, ensure that you copy the JDBC driver file to the Apache Tomcat lib directory of the Apache Tomcat instance Identity Governance uses.
