Production set up guide

Production Set Up

This section covers how to set up the IdM for production, covering topics like email sending, reCAPTCHA support or how to serve static and media files. Some topics, for example https, are beyond the scope of this documentation and only some pointers to related documentation are provided as a starting point.

MySQL

If you have installed the IdM using the automated tools the back-end (Keystone) will be configured to use a SQLite database. This is NOT recommended for production, we strongly advise to switch to a production-ready SQL database. This guide covers how to configure MySQL but any other database compatible with SQLAlchemy would probably work too.

Install MySQL

´´´sudo apt-get install mysql-server´´´

Database connection

Edit keystone/etc/keystone/keystone.conf and change the [sql] section. [sql] # The SQLAlchemy connection string used to connect to the database connection = mysql://keystone:KEYSTONE_DBPASS@controller/keystone
