WSO2 Identity Server Authentication

Question

I have a requirement that, I need to authenticate the User Credentials via WSO2 Identity Server. The user credentials are stored in the separate Database. Can anyone explain how to achieve this?

Answer 1

All of the WSO2 products are based on WSO2 Carbon framework (an award-winning, light-weight, service-oriented platform for all WSO2 products), and can be configured to use a existing centralized user management systems as the user store.

In WSO2 Carbon-based products, there are four user store manager classes that implement the AbstractUserStoreManager class. You can select one of those classes according to the user store that you have in your environment.

1. org.wso2.carbon.user.core.jdbc.JDBCUserStoreManager
2. org.wso2.carbon.user.core.ldap.ReadOnlyLDAPUserStoreManager
3. org.wso2.carbon.user.core.ldap.ReadWriteLDAPUserStoreManager
4. org.wso2.carbon.user.core.ldap.ActiveDirectoryLDAPUserStoreManager

You can write a custom JDBC user store manager, if your data in RDBM system. Have a look on Writing a Custom User Store Manager, specially check on Implementing a custom JDBC user store manager
