Install the required database software and create the databases before installing StreamSets Control Hub.
You can install Control Hub on the same machine as the required databases or on a remote machine. For best performance, we recommend installing on a remote machine.
If your company uses Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), you can use the LDAP provider to authenticate Control Hub users. LDAP authenticates a user using the credentials stored in the LDAP server.
To secure communications to the Control Hub UI and REST API, enable both Control Hub and the separate Admin tool to use HTTPS. HTTPS requires an SSL/TLS certificate.
In a production environment, we recommend using multiple Control Hub instances and a load balancer to ensure that Control Hub is highly available.
