Using the MobileFirst Data Proxy

The MobileFirst Data Proxy can be configured to work with your container so that your mobile app data is stored on the server side.

The MobileFirst Data Proxy works with Cloudant® databases. Learn more...

Therefore, to use the MobileFirst Data Proxy with your container, you must have configured a Cloudant database instance to communicate with the MobileFirst Data Proxy component.

For example, this could be a database instance on Cloudant.com or a Cloudant NoSQL DB service on IBM® Bluemix®.

Using HTTPS

For MobileFirst Data Proxy to use a Cloudant database through HTTPS, you must import the Cloudant database certificate into the truststore of the Java™ runtime environment (JRE) that is used by the Liberty server. You can find the truststore location in JRE_DIR/lib/security/cacerts. Place updated certificate files in the mfpf-server/usr/jre-security folder. Learn more...

Using a Cloudant NoSQL DB service on Bluemix

To use the Cloudant NoSQL DB service, it must be bound to a Node.js or IBM Liberty runtime app on Bluemix.
