About the Application Security database
If you are deploying a new instance of Application Security, you must first install and configure the third‑party database server software. For database requirements, see the Application Security Software System Requirements document.
- Application Security requires that all database schema collations be case-sensitive.
If you are installing a SQL Server or MySQL database, your installation requires special attention. For more information, see Using a SQL Server Database or Configuring a MySQL Database.
Later, when you configure Application Security for the first time, you will use the Setup wizard to configure connectivity to the database and then seed the database (see Configuring Application Security for the First Time).
