You can run Informatica with Kerberos authentication and Microsoft Active Directory (AD) directory service. Kerberos authentication provides single sign-on capability to Informatica domain client applications. The Informatica domain supports Active Directory 2008 R2.

Informatica clients can run on a Windows network that uses two-factor authentication.

You can specify a keyword to generate a unique encryption key for encrypting sensitive data such as passwords that are stored in the domain.

When you configure account lockout in the Administrator tool, you can enforce account lockout for administrator user accounts. The

option, you can also enable the

option.

You can use the Informatica relational database drivers to connect to a secure Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, or IBM DB2 database. You can create repositories, sources, and targets on databases secured with SSL certificates.
