Enabling Secure Communication for the Domain in the Administrator Tool

You can use the Administrator tool to enable secure communication for the domain. When you enable secure communication in the Administrator tool, you must also run infasetup commands to update the nodes.

When you enable the Secure Communication option in the Administrator tool, you also need to run the infasetup command to update Informatica configuration files on each node. To specify the SSL certificate files to use, specify the keystore and truststore files when you run the infasetup command.

To update the Informatica configuration files on each node, use the following commands:

infasetup UpdateGatewayNode: Use the UpdateGatewayNode command to enable secure communication for the Service Manager on a gateway node in a domain. If the domain has multiple gateway nodes, run the UpdateGatewayNode command on each gateway node.
infasetup UpdateWorkerNode: Use the UpdateWorkerNode command to enable secure communication for the Service Manager on a worker node in a domain. If the domain has multiple worker nodes, run the UpdateWorkerNode command on each worker node.

To enable secure domain communication from the Administrator tool, perform the following steps:

On the Administrator tool, select the domain.

In the contents panel, click the

Properties

view.

Go to the

General Properties

section and click

Edit

On the

Edit General Properties

window, select

Enable Secure Communication

Click

Shut down the domain.

The domain must be shut down before you run the infasetup commands.

Run infasetup with the required options and arguments.

Enter the following command:

Windows:

infasetup UpdateGatewayNode

infasetup UpdateWorkerNode

UNIX:

infasetup.sh UpdateGatewayNode

infasetup.sh UpdateWorkerNode

To configure secure communication on the nodes, run the commands with the following options:

Option	Argument	Description
-EnableTLS -tls	enable_tls	Configures secure communication for the services in the Informatica domain.
-NodeKeystore -nk	node_keystore_directory	Optional if you use the default SSL certificate from Informatica. Required if you use your SSL certificate. Directory that contains the keystore files. The Informatica domain requires the SSL certificate in PEM format and in Java Keystore (JKS) files. The directory must contain keystore files in PEM and JKS formats. The keystore files must be named infa_keystore.jks and infa_keystore.pem You can use the same keystore file for multiple nodes.
-NodeKeystorePass -nkp	node_keystore_password	Optional if you use the default SSL certificate from Informatica. Required if you use your SSL certificate. Password for the infa_keystore.jks file.
-NodeTruststore -nt	node_truststore_directory	Optional if you use the default SSL certificate from Informatica. Required if you use your SSL certificate. Directory that contains the truststore files. The Informatica domain requires the SSL certificate in PEM format and in Java Keystore (JKS) files. The directory must contain truststore files in PEM and JKS formats. The truststore files must be named infa_truststore.jks and infa_truststore.pem. You can use the same truststore file for multiple nodes.
-NodeTruststorePass -ntp	node_truststore_password	Optional if you use the default SSL certificate from Informatica. Required if you use your SSL certificate. Password for the infa_truststore.jks file.

Run the infasetup command on each node in the domain.

If you have multiple gateway nodes in the domain, run infasetup UpdateGatewayNode on each gateway node. If you have multiple worker nodes, run infasetup UpdateWorkerNode on each worker node. You must use the same keystore and truststore files for all nodes in the domain.

Restart the domain.

After you complete updating all nodes in the domain, you must update the machines that host the Informatica client tools. Set the location of the SSL certificates in the Informatica truststore environment variables.
