Configuring the Cloudant database manually for MobileFirst Server administration

You configure the Cloudant® database by setting JNDI properties in the appropriate application server.

There is no manual configuration required for a Cloudant database. If the database for the MobileFirst Server administration does not exist, and if the Cloudant user that is provided to the MobileFirst Server administration is the Cloudant administrator, then the database is automatically created when the MobileFirst Server administration is started. If the user that is provided to the MobileFirst Server administration is not allowed to create a database, you must create a database with the names that are documented at Creating the Cloudant database for MobileFirst Server administration.

For more information about the MobileFirst Server administration configuration with Cloudant, see Deploying the Administration Services and MobileFirst Operations Console and configuring the application server manually
