Introduction to the Database

The Sun Java System Portal Server software uses the open-source database written in the Java^TM programming language (Java DB) to store configuration and membership for the collaboration feature. The Portal Server software installs and configures the database. The Java DB runs as a standalone Java application. The Portal Server software does not manage the Java DB process; it must be manually started and stopped using the Java DB NetworkServerControl application (see Starting, Stopping, and Disabling the Java DB for more information). The database credentials are portal/portal.
