Review and choose an application server

The Jazz Team Server includes Apache Tomcat as the default application server. The Jazz Team Server can also be configured to run with a WebSphere® Application Server.

a. Apache Tomcat
  • Bundled with the Jazz Team Server.
  • Simple installation and no setup required.
b. WebSphere Application Server
  • Requires configuration for hosting the Jazz Team Server. For more information, see Setting up and starting a WebSphere Application Server.
  • Supports a more powerful user registry setup. You can configure WAS to allow users to log in from either a local user registry and a LDAP registry at the same time.
Review and choose a database

The Jazz Team Server includes Derby as the default database. If you are already using other databases such as DB2®, or Oracle, in your environment, the Jazz Team Server can be configured to run with your existing database software.

a. Derby
  • Bundled with Jazz Team Server.
  • No installation or configuration required.
    Note: A Derby database cannot support more than 10 users. If you want to support more than 10 users, you need to use a different database.
b. DB2
c. SQL Server
d. Oracle
Review and choose a user management method

Apache Tomcat user database: The default user management enables you to manage users without any external user management system.

LDAP user registry: You must configure your Apache Tomcat or IBM WebSphere Application Server to use an LDAP registry to authenticate users.

a. Apache Tomcat user database

Managing users with the Apache Tomcat user database is for Apache Tomcat installations only. The user names and encrypted passwords are stored in the tomcat-users.xml file. Updates, such as, creating a new user and changing user passwords or repository permission roles are automatically written to the xml file. You do not need to edit the file.

b. LDAP user registry
