SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS (recommended)

 

Extreme transaction processing supported (Is XTP supported)

True

One Identity Manager uses In-Memory-OLTP (Online Transactional Processing) for memory-optimized data accesses. The database server must support extreme transaction processing (XTP). This function is activated by default in a default installation.

The setting is tested by the Configuration Wizard before installing or updating One Identity Manager database. If XTP is not activated, the installation or update does not start.

Collation

SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS

The setting is checked by the Configuration Wizard before installing or updating the One Identity Manager database and adjusted for the database if necessary.

Recovery model

Simple

The setting is tested by the Configuration Wizard before installing or updating One Identity Manager database. If the recovery model is not set to the value Simple, a warning is issued before installing or updating starts. You can ignore this warning.

For performance reasons, however, it is recommended you set the database to the Simple recovery model for the duration of the schema installation or update.

Compatibility level

SQL Server 2019 (150)

The setting is checked by the Configuration Wizard before installing or updating the One Identity Manager database and adjusted for the database if necessary.

Auto Create Statistics

True

The setting is checked by the Configuration Wizard before installing or updating the One Identity Manager database and adjusted for the database if necessary.

Auto Update Statistics

True

The setting is checked by the Configuration Wizard before installing or updating the One Identity Manager database and adjusted for the database if necessary.

Auto Update Statistics Asynchronously

True

The setting is checked by the Configuration Wizard before installing or updating the One Identity Manager database and adjusted for the database if necessary.

Arithmetic Abort enabled

True

The setting is checked by the Configuration Wizard before installing or updating the One Identity Manager database and adjusted for the database if necessary.

Quoted Identifiers Enabled

True

The setting is checked by the Configuration Wizard before installing or updating the One Identity Manager database and adjusted for the database if necessary.

Is Read Committed Snapshot On

True

The default setting for transactions is AutoCommit. If transactions are required, they are opened explicitly.

These settings have proven to provide the best balance between data security and performance for One Identity Manager's massive parallel processing. Other transaction modes are not supported by One Identity Manager.

The setting is checked by the Configuration Wizard before installing or updating the One Identity Manager database and adjusted for the database if necessary.

Parameterization

Forced

The setting is checked by the Configuration Wizard before installing or updating the One Identity Manager database and adjusted for the database if necessary.

Database file and date file group for memory-optimized tables

Required

One Identity Manager uses In-Memory-OLTP (Online Transactional Processing) for memory-optimized data accesses.

For the creation of memory-optimized tables, the following prerequisites must be met:

  • A database file with the Filestream data file type must exist.
  • A memory-optimized data filegroup must exist.

Before installation or update of the One Identity Manager database, the Configuration Wizard checks whether these requirements are fulfilled.

In the Configuration Wizard, repair methods are offered in order to create the database file and the data file group. The database file is created by the repair method in the directory of the data file (*.mdf).

Table variable deferred compilation (DEFERRED_COMPILATION_TV)

ON

The setting is checked by the Configuration Wizard before installing or updating the One Identity Manager database and adjusted for the database if necessary.

Interleaved execution (INTERLEAVED_EXECUTION_TVF)

ON

The setting is checked by the Configuration Wizard before installing or updating the One Identity Manager database and adjusted for the database if necessary.

Users with granular permission for the One Identity Manager database on an SQL Server

The following users are identified for using a One Identity Manager database on a SQL Server with the granular permissions concept. User permissions at server and database level are matched to their tasks.

NOTE: If you want to switch to granular permissions when you update from 8.1.x at a later date, contact support. To access the Support Portal, go to https://support.oneidentity.com/identity-manager/.

  • Installation user

    The installation user is needed for the initial installation of a One Identity Manager database using the Configuration Wizard.

    NOTE: If you want to change to the granular permissions concept when you upgrade from version 8.0.x to 9.1, you will also require an installation user.

  • Administrative user

    The administrative user is used by components of One Identity Manager that require authorizations at server level and database level, for example, the Configuration Wizard, the DBQueue Processor, or the One Identity Manager Service.

  • Configuration user

    The configuration user can run configuration tasks within One Identity Manager, For example, creating customer-specific schema extensions or working with the Designer. Configuration users need permissions at the server and database levels.

  • End users

    End users are only assigned permissions at database level in order, for example, to complete tasks with the Manager or the Web Portal.

For more information about minimum access levels for One Identity Manager tools, see the One Identity Manager Authorization and Authentication Guide.

Permissions for installation users

A SQL Server login and a database user with the following permissions must be provided for the installation user.

SQL Server:

  • Member of dbcreator server role

    The server role is only required if the database is created using the Configuration Wizard.

  • Member of the sysadmin server role

    This server role is only required if the database is created by the Configuration Wizard and the directories for the file must be selected in the file browser. If the files are stored in the default database server directories, permissions are not necessary.

  • Member of securityadmin server role

    This server role is required to create SQL Server logins.

  • view server state permissions with the with grant option option and alter any connection permissions with the with grant option option.

    The permissions are required to check connections and close these if necessary.

  • alter any server role permissions

Tips for using integrated Windows authentication

Integrated Windows authentication can be used without restriction for the One Identity Manager Service and the web applications. Integrated Windows authentication can be used for FAT clients. Use of Windows groups for logging in is supported. To ensure functionality it is strongly recommended you use SQL Server login.

To implement Windows authentication

  • Set up a SQL Server login for the user account on the database server.

  • Enter dbo as the default schema.

  • Assign the required permissions SQL server login.

Requirements for a managed instance in Azure SQL Database

To manage the One Identity Manager database in a managed instance in Azure SQL Database, you require the Business critical tier. For more detailed information, see the Microsoft site under https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/sql-database/.
