Hello everyone, i am interested in using gluu server 4.5 as a 2FA-System. In the documentation for installing gluu server there is an article namend "setup script options". In this article there is been descripted that you can configure the "Backend Type". There you can choose between "Local OpenDj, Remote OpenDj, Local Couchbase (availabel if you have package at /opt/dist/couchbase), Remote Couchbase, Local MySQL, Remote MySQL, Local PgSQL, Remote PgSQL, Cloud Spanner, Spanner Emulator. Note: Some options are not available depending on your profile." Does this script also installs automatically a local database for example a MySQL database if there doesn't exist a remote or local database? Unfortunately i can not find anywhere in the gluu server documentation a guide for installing/configuring a database for gluu. It would be great, if anyone could help me with an answer. Greetings, Louis

Hello, >> Does this script also installs automatically a local database for example a MySQL database if there doesn't exist a remote or local database? Yes, that's correct.

So the automatically installation of a local database through the script will configure it ready for use for the gluu server? If i want to use an separate remote database server what configuration are necessary to the database-configuration for example for MySQL to use it for the gluu server? Does the gluu server installation also needs an own reverse proxy (like nginx or haproxy)?

You just need to install a vanilla mysql server in that remote server and open port for Gluu Server, that's it. >> Does the gluu server installation also needs an own reverse proxy (like nginx or haproxy)? No.

So there is no need of configuration of the remote vanilla mysql server? Is the necessary configuration (like creating db for gluu and so on) also done by the setup script?
