Issue/Introduction

 
 
 

Currently IAM, Enterprise Dashboard and Registry connect to Derby.

We would like to have assistance configuring all of these components to connect to PostgreSQL.

Environment

Release : 10.6 and later

Component : CA Service Virtualization

Cause

N/A

Resolution

NOTE: It is assumed there is a familiarity with PostgreSQL or can confer with a DBA for guidance.

DevTest delivers a PostgreSQL JDBC driver with the product.  

For the Enterprise Dashboard (EDB), the driver is delivered in DEVTEST_HOME/lib/dradis/postgresql-42.2.5.jar.

For the Registry, the driver is delivered in DEVTEST_HOME/lib/shared/postgresql-42.2.5.jar.

For Identity Access Manager, this driver is not delivered in any folder under ${IAM_HOME}, so it is suggested to create this folder, ${IAM_HOME}database/drivers, and copy the postgresql-42.2.5.jar file from the EDB to this new folder.

Where $(IAM_HOME) = DEVTEST_HOME/IdentityAccessManager

Bring down all DevTest services.

 

Configuring PostgreSQL for IdentIty Access Manager (IAM)

1. Edit file ${IAM_HOME}iam.properties.
2. Configure the file using this example (this is a current working example)

iam.db.vendor=postgres
iam.db.url=jdbc:postgresql://LVNTEST025413:5432/IAM_10_6_0
iam.db.user=postgres
iam.db.password=<password in plain text, once IAM started the password will be stored in VAULT>
iam.db.jdbc.driver.path=${IAM_HOME}/database/drivers/postgresql-42.2.5.jar

3. Start the IAM Service.

 

Configuring PostgreSQL for the Enterprise Dashboard (EDB)

1. Edit file DEVTEST_HOME/dradis.properties.
2. Configure the file using this example (this is a current working example)

## Should we start the internal Derby DB instance in the Enterprise Dashboard?
dradis.db.internal.enabled=false

## ==================================================================================
## PostgreSQL
## ==================================================================================
dradis.db.driverClass=org.postgresql.Driver
dradis.db.url=jdbc:postgresql://LVNTEST025413:5432/EDB_10_6_0
dradis.db.user=postgres
dradis.db.password=<password in plain text, once the EDB is started the password will be encrypted>

3. Start the Enterprise Dashboard service.

 

Configuring PostgreSQL for the Registry

1. Edit file DEVTEST_HOME/site.properties.
2. Configure the file using this example (this is a current working example)

## ==================================================================================
## PostgreSQL
## ==================================================================================
lisadb.pool.common.driverClass=org.postgresql.Driver
lisadb.pool.common.url=jdbc:postgresql://LVNTEST025413:5432/REG_10_6_0
lisadb.pool.common.user=postgres
lisadb.pool.common.password=<password in plain text, once the Registry is started the password will be encrypted>

## ==================================================================================
## Should the internal Derby DB instance in the Registry be started?
## ==================================================================================
lisadb.internal.enabled=false

3. Start the Registry service.

 

Additional Information

NOTE: When starting IAM, Enterprise Dashboard or Registry, if you get an error similar to this:

"Caused by: org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: FATAL: no pg_hba.conf entry for host "11.22.3.44", user "postgres", database "REG_10_6_0", SSL off" you are missing some configuration on the PostgreSQL database side. 

Please refer to this Knowledge Document: Resolving error: Caused by: org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: FATAL: no pg_hba.conf entry for host "11.22.3.44", user "postgres", database "IAM_10_X_0", SSL off
