page appears.

The following table describes the properties that you set for a secure connection to the Administrator tool:

Property	Description
Enable HTTPS for Informatica Administrator	Select this option to secure the connection to Informatica Administrator. To use an unsecure HTTP connection, clear the option.

Port	The port to use for communication between Informatica Administrator and the Service Manager.
Use a keystore file generated by the installer	Use a self-signed keystore file generated by the installer. The installer creates a keystore file named Default.keystore in the following location: <Informatica installation directory>\tomcat\conf\
Specify a keystore file and password	Use a keystore file that you create. You can use a keystore file with a self-signed certificate or a certificate signed by a certification authority.
Keystore password	A plain-text password for the keystore file. Required if you use a keystore file that you create.
Keystore file	Path and file name of the keystore file. Required if you use a keystore file that you create.

To use your SSL certificate, select

Specify the location of the SSL certificate files

and specify the directories where the SSL certificate files are located.

The following table describes the parameters that you must enter for the SSL certificate files:

Property	Description

The following table describes the encryption key parameters that you must specify when you join a domain:

Property	Description
Select the encryption key	Path and file name of the encryption key for the Informatica domain that you want to join. All nodes in the Informatica domain use the same encryption key. You must specify the encryption key file created on the gateway node for the domain that you want to join. If you copied the encryption key file to a temporary directory to make it accessible to the nodes in the domain, specify the path and file name of the encryption key file in the temporary directory.
Encryption key directory	Directory in which to store the encryption key on the node created during this installation. The installer copies the encryption key file for the domain to the encryption key directory on the new node. By default, the encryption key is created in the following directory: <Informatica installation directory>/isp/config/keys .

The following table describes the properties that you set for the node:
