Searching the Help
To search for information in the Help, type a word or phrase in the Search box. When you enter a group of words, OR is inferred. You can use Boolean operators to refine your search.
Results returned are case insensitive. However, results ranking takes case into account and assigns higher scores to case matches. Therefore, a search for "cats" followed by a search for "Cats" would return the same number of Help topics, but the order in which the topics are listed would be different.
Words and Phrases
| Search for | Example | Results |
|---|---|---|
| A single word | cat
|
Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats". |
|
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase. |
"cat food" (quotation marks) |
Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase. |
Using Boolean Operators
| Search for | Operator | Example |
|---|---|---|
|
Two or more words in the same topic |
|
|
| Either word in a topic |
|
|
| Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase |
|
|
| Topics that contain one string and do not contain another | ^ (caret) |
cat ^ mouse
|
| A combination of search types | ( ) parentheses |

- Task 3: Create an IdM client trust store
- Task 4: Configure SAML SSO
- Task 5: Configure a tenant and specify the ADFS metadata URL
- Task 6: Create an empty database for IdM
- Task 7: Configure database connection in the IdM service
- Task 8: Download the IdM metadata
- Task 9: Configure the IdM service for LW-SSO compatibility
- Task 10: Specify an IdM token signing key

Task 6: Create an empty database for IdM
You need to create an empty database for the IdM service.
Tip During the creation of the database, make note of the following database connection information, which you will need to configure in the next task:
- Database server host and port
- Database name
-
Database login credentials
Note Use an administrative user account to connect to the IdM database.
Supported databases
Currently, the supported database types include SQL Server, Oracle, and PostgreSQL. For information about their supported versions, see the Service Manager Support Matrix.
Tip You may want to use the same database type for both Service Manager and IdM. Currently, the supported database types for Service Manager are SQL Server and Oracle.
Create a SQL Server or Oracle database
Follow exactly the same instructions for creating a database for Service Manager. See the "Prepare an RDBMS to support Service Manager" section in this document.
Create a PostgreSQL database
To create an empty PostgreSQL database, follow these steps:
- Install PostgreSQL 9.40 or later by using the default options.
-
Create a role and password with login privileges.
You can do this by using the following sql statement:
create role <idmdbuser> with login password '<idmdbuser>';
-
Create an empty database and set the owner to the role created in the previous step. For example, an empty database named IDM-SM.
You can do this by using the following sql statement:
create database <idmdb> owner <idmdbuser> template template0 encoding 'UTF8';
