MicroStrategy ONE

MicroStrategy Installation Wizard: Usher Server Settings: Step 1

The MicroStrategy Identity Server installs a database which is a system of record for individual user identities. Use this page to provide the configuration parameters for the MicroStrategy Identity Server to communicate with the database.

Specify the location of the Tomcat Directory. The Installation Wizard validates that the directory exists and contains the correct version of Tomcat, and also that you can write to the webapps subfolder. Installing the MicroStrategy Identity Server includes a ROOT.war file. You can use this .war file to deploy your MicroStrategy Identity Server on your Tomcat web application server.

Define the database connection information for the database that stores the MicroStrategy Identity Server database, using the following settings:

  • Server: The IP address for the machine that hosts the database.
  • Port: The port number for the database connection. The default port is 3306.
  • User Name: The account name for the database user that administers the database.
  • Password: The password for the database user specified above.
  • Server Database Instance: The name of the MicroStrategy Identity Server database.
  • Log Database Instance: The name of the database that stores log information for the MicroStrategy Identity Server.
  • Enable SSL Certificate: Selecting this checkbox allows you to communicate via SSL by default.

To test the database connection, click the Test button. The Installation Wizard validates that:

  • A connection can be made using the provided server, port, user and password information.
  • If the server and log instances exist, the instances are either empty or can be dropped.
  • If the server and log instances do not exist, that the provided user has the correct privileges to create the instances.
  • The provided user has the correct privileges to create tables.
