The framework side of this change is wso2/carbon-identity-framework#8361 — it writes the configurations this PR reads, and registers them with the super tenant realm. That PR depends on this one and should merge after it. |

The new config-building helper hardcodes a / path separator that breaks database-backed store loading on Windows, plus minor convention deviations in connection handling and the Informix script.

What changed in this PR
This PR lets a tenant's secondary user store configurations be stored in the shared database instead of only as XML files on disk, which better suits clustered/containerised deployments where nodes are replaceable and share a database. It adds a new UM_SECONDARY_USER_STORE table to all nine kernel database scripts and extends JDBCTenantManager to read those rows while a tenant's realm configuration chain is built, appending them immediately after the existing userstores directory scan. The read is intentionally lenient: an absent table (database not yet migrated) is skipped at debug level so tenant loading never fails. The corresponding writer lives in carbon-identity-framework and is out of scope for this repository.
Changes:
- Add the
UM_SECONDARY_USER_STOREtable (keyed byUM_ID, unique onUM_DOMAIN_NAME+UM_TENANT_ID) to all nine dialect scripts. - Add
setSecondaryUserStoreConfigFromDatabase()and abuildUserStoreConfiguration()helper toJDBCTenantManagerthat build realm configs from the stored XML and append them to the chain, setting the tenant id explicitly. - Add the
GET_SECONDARY_USER_STORES_SQLquery constant toTenantConstants.

- Around line 1346-1354: Update buildUserStoreConfiguration to construct the
UserStoreConfigXMLProcessor filename with File.separator instead of a hard-coded
slash, and replace dots in domainName with underscores before appending the XML
extension.
- Around line 1294-1296: Use getDBConnection() for the connection that executes
GET_SECONDARY_USER_STORES_SQL, and roll it back in a finally block before it
closes so rollback runs after both successful and failed queries.
- Around line 1308-1318: Update setSecondaryUserStoreConfigFromDatabase to
receive the root RealmConfiguration and check each database row’s domain against
every domain in the existing secondary-realm chain before appending it. Skip
rows whose domain already exists, preserving the file-based configuration;
continue appending non-duplicate database configurations as before.

- Line 1298: Update both getTenant overloads and setSecondaryUserStoreConfig so
the secondary-store read reuses the connection already acquired by tenant
loading instead of calling getDBConnection() again. Pass that connection through
to setSecondaryUserStoreConfig and keep commit and cleanup under the outer
tenant-loading methods.

A tenant's secondary user stores can only be kept as XML files under its userstores directory, which ties them to a node's file system. They can now be kept in the shared database instead. UM_SECONDARY_USER_STORE is declared in all nine dialect scripts under distribution/kernel/carbon-home/dbscripts. It belongs in the kernel because a product takes its shared database scripts straight from the kernel distribution, so this is the only place the table can be declared. JDBCTenantManager.setSecondaryUserStoreConfig() scans the tenant's userstores directory while the realm configuration is being built, and that scan, not the deployment engine, is what makes a file based secondary user store resolvable for a tenant. It now reads the table instead when SecondaryUserStorePersistenceType in carbon.xml is set to "database", so a configuration held in the database reaches the realm by the same route. Absent or any other value leaves the directory as the only source, so an existing deployment is unaffected and the table is never touched. The read borrows the connection the caller is already holding, since taking a second one from the same pool stalls concurrent tenant loads once the pool is saturated, and a database that has not had the new script applied is skipped at debug level so tenant loading never fails because the table is absent.

Purpose
Secondary user store configurations can only be kept as XML files, under
repository/tenants/<id>/userstores/, which ties them to a node's file system. This lets them be kept in the shared database instead.No tracker issue has been raised yet.
Approach
The table.
UM_SECONDARY_USER_STOREis added to all nine dialect scripts underdistribution/kernel/carbon-home/dbscripts/. It belongs in the kernel because a product takes its shared database scripts straight from the kernel distribution, so this is the only place the table can be declared.UM_DOMAIN_NAME+UM_TENANT_IDis the key.Reading it.
JDBCTenantManager.setSecondaryUserStoreConfig()scans the tenant'suserstoresdirectory while the realm configuration is built, and that scan — not the deployment engine — is what makes a file based secondary user store resolvable for a tenant. It now reads the table instead whenSecondaryUserStorePersistenceTypeincarbon.xmlisdatabase, so a database held configuration reaches the realm by the same route. Absent or any other value leaves the directory as the only source.The read borrows the caller's open connection, since taking a second one from the same pool stalls concurrent tenant loads once the pool is saturated. A database without the new table is skipped at debug level, so tenant loading never fails because it is absent.

The writer lives in
carbon-identity-frameworkand is the other half of this change; its PR is linked in a comment below. This PR is the dependency — the framework side cannot resolve a tenant's database held user store without it.Migrations
The table must exist in the shared database before the switch is turned on.
An existing deployment is unaffected while it is off: the directory scan is unchanged and the table is never read. Once it is on, the directory is not read at all, so any configuration still on disk stops being served for that tenant. Moving those configurations into the table is handled separately.
Automation tests
None added.
JDBCTenantManagerhas no existing test class, and the new code is a JDBC read feedingUserStoreConfigXMLProcessor, so a meaningful test needs a seeded database rather than a mock. Happy to add one if wanted.Test environment
Built with JDK 11, verified on a WSO2 Identity Server 7.4.0-SNAPSHOT pack (JDK 21, macOS, H2) with these classes swapped in.
With the switch on, a tenant carrying both a file only user store and rows in the table resolved only the rows: the file stayed on disk, its domain was gone from the realm, and the database held stores continued to serve users. With the switch off, the same tenant resolved the file based store exactly as before.
Security checks
The stored configuration is the same document that is written to disk today, so
UserStoreConfigXMLProcessor.setSecretResolver()applies to it unchanged.Documentation
Not written yet. The new table has to appear in the shared database schema reference, and
SecondaryUserStorePersistenceTypeneeds documenting alongside it.Developer Checklist (Mandatory)
