Configure the Database Settings that Identity IQ will use to connect to the database

Prepare SailPoint IIQ for database set-up

As part of the initial setup for Sailpoint IdentityIQ, a database configuration is required. The configuration for DB need changes in the iiq.properties file which is located in the %your-drive%\tomcat\webapps\iiq\WEB-­INF\classes\iiq.properties

The table below lists the most commonly edited values.

Database Type
Determined by which database section is uncommented. (default: MySQL)
dataSource.username
Username to use when connecting to the database (default: root)
dataSource.password
Encrypted password to use when connecting to the database. (default: root) Note: generated using the iiq encrypt command
dataSource.url
Defines the host name, port and database to connect to. (default: use the standard port on localhost, database name = identityiq )
dataSource.driverClassName
Defines the driver to use when connecting to the database (default: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver)

Below a snippet of the iiq.properties file for MySQL
 

dataSource.username = root
dataSource.password = 1:xDikd6BMwY+LL9iXETAjBg==
##### MySQL 5 ##### ##
URL Format: dataSource.url = jdbc:mysql://:/?useServer PrepStmts=true&tinyInt1isBit=true&useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=utf8
dataSource.url = jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/identityiq?useServerPrepStmts=true &tinyInt1isBit=true&useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=utf8

dataSource.driverClassName = com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
