User Authentication

User Authentication

User authentication determines the users that can log in to
B2B Data Exchange
. The user authentication mode controls the location of user accounts and the tools for managing the accounts.
When you install
B2B Data Exchange
you select a default administrator user name. The password is the same as the user name. Use the administrator account to manage user authentication in one of the following authentication modes:
  • B2B Data Exchange
    native authentication. Stores user accounts in the local
    B2B Data Exchange
    repository. Use native authentication for a development or a test environment. When you install
    B2B Data Exchange
    , the default password is the same as the user name. Use the Navigator of the
    B2B Data Exchange
    Operation Console to manage users in the
    B2B Data Exchange
    repository.
  • Informatica domain authentication or Informatica domain with Kerberos authentication, depending on the authentication method that your Informatica domain uses. Synchronizes user accounts with the Informatica security domain. Use Informatica domain authentication or Informatica domain with Kerberos authentication for a production environment. Use the Administrator tool of the
    B2B Data Exchange
    Operation Console to manage users. Use the Operation Console Navigator to synchronize users between the security domain and the
    B2B Data Exchange
    repository and to assign user groups to users.
You can switch between
B2B Data Exchange
native authentication and Informatica domain authentication or Informatica domain with Kerberos authentication, depending of the authentication method that your Informatica domain uses. If you switch from
B2B Data Exchange
native authentication to Informatica domain authentication or to Informatica domain with Kerberos authentication, the user synchronization process overrides existing user accounts.
