It depends on what DBMS you choose. If you want to stay on Derby, you can switch from the default embedded setup to 'Derby Network Server'. Or you can use MySQL, etc. Here's one example: http://docs.codehaus.org/display/MAVENUSER/Archiva+User+DB+on+Derby+Network+Server Each application does have its own database in addition to the user store, but it's only the user store you want to share, so that's the only one you really need to move out to an external db. On the other hand, you may want to move all of them to keep things consistent, make them more accessible, etc. -- Wendy
