Configuring a database for Apache Syncope
Last updated: 9/10/2026
This section explains how to configure an external database for Apache
Syncope.
Configuring an external database is not required for the test
installation, but it is recommended to use a permanent database for storage.
Procedure
-
Create a schema in the database.
-
Edit the file persistence.properties located at syncope/web-inf/classes.
Information noteNote: Depending on which external database you use, you may need to change the database dialect property in the persistence.properties file, and you must ensure that you have the necessary database role to continue with the configuration.
