The user datastore is the location of where you will store all user and group account information. There are three types of datastores, file per record, file and database.
A "file per record" and "file" datastore are similar in that they store all user account information in a directory located on the JSCAPE MFT Server machine. The difference between the two lies in how they store account information. In a "file per record" datastore separate files are created for each user and each group with a .usr or .grp extension respectively. In a "file" datastore a single file named accounts.dat is created to store account information and a single file named groups.dat is created to store group information. In both cases these files are stored in the specified store directory. A "file per record" datastore is much more efficient when managing a large number of users and is the default selection.
A "database" datastore stores all account and group information in a database which may be accessed using the JDBC connection parameters that you provide.
