5.1.1. Tomcat & MySQL/JNDI Configuration

If OpenIG accesses an SQL database you must configure Tomcat for JNDI. Once you have Tomcat configured you must add the jar for the database, and set up a JNDI data source and a reference to that data source in your web application. The following steps are for the MySQL Connector/J.

Download the MySQL JDBC Driver Connector/J. Add it to the class path by copying it to $TOMCAT_HOME/lib.

Add a JNDI data source for your MySQL server and database in $TOMCAT_HOME/conf/context.xml. 

<Resource name="jdbc/forgerock" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource"
 maxActive="100" maxIdle="30" maxWait="10000"
 username="admin" password="11111111" driverClassName="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"
 url="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/databasename"/>

Add a resource reference to the data source in $TOMCAT_HOME/conf/web.xml. 

<resource-ref>
    <description>MySQL Connection<description>
    <res-ref-name>jdbc/forgerock<res-ref-name>
    <res-type>javax.sql.DataSource<res-type>
    <res-auth>Container<res-auth>
