FusionAuth is in maintenance mode because your database is not ready, it is either not running or does not contain the FusionAuth database or tables.

Optionally provide your existing database superuser username and password.

If you don't have superuser privileges to your database (i.e. you are using a cloud database system that creates an named empty database for you), you can leave these fields blank.

If you have superuser privileges to the database server and a named database for FusionAuth doesn't exist yet, FusionAuth can create it for you. FusionAuth can also create the less privileged user using the two fields in the "FusionAuth Credentials" section below. In order to accomplish these tasks, you must supply the superuser credentials here. If you do not know the database superuser credentials, you will need to ask your database administrator.

NOTE:This username and password will only be used during this database configuration step and will not be stored by FusionAuth for future use.

Provide a new username and password to own the FusionAuth database. This database user will be created with the provided password if it does not exist, if you specify a database user that already exists, you must also provide the correct password.

This username and password will be stored in the FusionAuth configuration file and used to connect to your database at runtime.
