Configure the Datastore connection

At Setup > Datastore, manage the Datastore connection settings and authentication settings. You can change settings, connect to a different Datastore or create a new one.

The Datastore stores all information of your environment, including licenses and data synchronized from external sources. Upgraded customers may use an Ivanti Automation Datastore.

Configuration

Field	Explanation and Tips
Database type	Select the database type.
Database server	Specify the IP address, hostname or FQDN of the database server.
Force protocol encryption	Enables secure communication between the Datastore and the components that connect to it (Microsoft SQL Server only). See also: Configure protocol encryption
Database name	Specify the Datastore name. If you change the connection to a different Datastore, you also need to point the Transaction Engine to this Datastore. See Command-line options. You can connect to an empty database (a database without any tables) that you have created directly on a database server, not with Identity Director. This database can then be used as an Identity Director Datastore. This is useful if an administrator is only allowed to manage existing databases, not create new ones.
Use Windows authentication	Use Windows authentication for access to the Datastore (Microsoft SQL Server only). Identity Director uses SQL Server authentication by default. You can only use Windows authentication if you have configured this in your Windows environment.
