    Note:


    This user is distinct from the Postgres Linux user. The Linux user is used to access the database, and the Postgres database user is used to perform administrative tasks on the databases. The postgres database user password will be used to connect to the database in the future steps. In the next step we setup the password for postgres database user.


  • Change the postgres database user password. To do this enter the following query in the Postgres interactive terminal.
    • ALTER USER postgres WITH PASSWORD '<postgres_dbuser_password>';

    • Replace the postgres_dbuser_password with the password of your choice. This is the password that will be required to connect to the database when configuring miniOrange IdP.
  • Create your Database. Execute the following command in the Postgres interactive terminal to create your database.
    • CREATE DATABASE '<postgres_db_name>'
    • Replace the <postgres_db_name> with the name of your choice. This will be the name of your database. This will be required to connect to the database when configuring miniOrange IdP.
