Use for the same Jira instance two diferent DBs

[Adrian Mane]

For security considerations we are looking on having some form of customers segregation within our local instance of Jira server. Our envisioned design compromises of multi client hosted  on premises Jira environment where each customer is isolated at database level, to be more specific all the customers will be using the same instance but in the back-end there will be dedicated and different databases per each customer. Is there any such possibility on a locally hosted Jira server?

A Jira instance uses the database credentials specified in your JIRA_HOME directory (dbconfig.xml). There is no place where you could define a separate database connection for parts of the installation.

In case you host another Jira installation on the same server, or, even maybe a confluence installation you can point to a independent database for the second installation (or confluence, in this example) by specifying a different host in the corresponding JIRA_HOME directory (again, of course, specifically in the dbconfig.xml).

Best regards,
