to continue.

The installer copies the Informatica files to the installation directory. After the installer copies the files, the

Domain Selection

page appears.

Select

Join a domain

The installer joins a node on the machine where you install.

When you create a domain, the node that you create becomes a gateway node in the domain. The gateway node contains a Service Manager that manages all domain operations.

Specify whether the domain you want to join has the secure communication option enabled.

Press 1
to join an unsecure domain or press 2
to join a secure domain.

Select the type of node you want to create.

Press 1
to configure a gateway node or 2
to configure a worker node.

If you configure the node as a gateway, you can enable a secure HTTPS connection to the Informatica Administrator.

If you enable HTTPS connection for the Informatica Administrator, enter an HTTPS port number to use to secure the connection.

Select whether to use the default Informatica SSL certificates or to use your SSL certificates to enable SAML authentication in the domain.

The following table describes the SSL certificate options for SAML authentication:

Option	Description
Use the default Informatica SSL certificate file.	Select to use the default Informatica truststore file for SAML authentication.
Enter the location of the SSL certificate file.	Select to use a custom truststore file for SAML authentication. Specify the directory containing the custom truststore file on gateway nodes within the domain. Specify the directory only, not the full path to the file.

To configure Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) based single sign-on (SSO) support for web-based Informatica applications in an Informatica domain, select the checkbox to enable SAML authentication.

If you enable Kerberos network authentication, you cannot configure SAML authentication.

Click

If you select the checkbox to enable SAML authentication option, the

SAML Authentication

page appears.

This image describes about SAML authentication properties.

Enter the Identity Provider URL for the domain.

Specify the relying party trust name or the service provider identifier for the domain as defined in the identity provider. If you choose No, the service provider identifier is set to "Informatica" .

Specify whether IdP will sign SAML assertion or not.

Enter the identity provider assertion signing certificate alias name.

Specify whether to use the default Informatica SSL certificates or to use your SSL certificates to enable secure communication in the domain.

The following table describes the SSL certificate options for SAML authentication:

Option	Description
Use the default Informatica SSL certificate file.	Select to use the default Informatica truststore file for SAML authentication.
Enter the location of the SSL certificate file.	Select to use a custom truststore file for SAML authentication. Specify the directory containing the custom truststore file on gateway nodes within the domain. Specify the directory only, not the full path to the file.

If you provide the security certificates, specify the location and passwords of the keystore and truststore files.

The following table describes the location and password of the truststore and keystore files:

Property	Description
Truststore Directory	Specify the directory containing the custom truststore file on gateway nodes within the domain. Specify the directory only, not the full path to the file.
Truststore Password	The password for the custom truststore file.
Keystore Directory	Specify the directory containing the custom keystore file.
Keystore Password	The password for the custom keystore file.

To specify the Authentication Context Comparison, specify the strength comparison of the authentication mechanism used by the user with the IdP server.

Supported values are MINIMUM, MAXIMUM, BETTER, or EXACT option. Default is MINIMUM.

To set the Authentication Context Class, specify the expected mechanism of first time authentication of the user with the IdP server.

Supported values are PASSWORD or PASSWORDPROTECTEDTRANSPORT. Default is PASSWORD.

Specify if you want to enable the webapp to sign the SAML authentication request or not?

Default is disabled.

Specify the alias name of the private key that was imported to the node SAML keystore using which the SAML request should be signed.

Specify the password to access the private key used for signing the SAML request.

Specify the algorithm that the web application uses to sign the SAML request.

Supported values are

RSA_SHA256, DSA_SHA1, DSA_SHA256, RSA_SHA1, RSA_SHA224, RSA_SHA384, RSA_SHA512, ECDSA_SHA1, ECDSA_SHA224, ECDSA_SHA256, ECDSA_SHA384, ECDSA_SHA512, RIPEMD160, or RSA_MD5

Specify whether you want IdP to sign the SAML response or not?

Choose to select to enable the webapp to receive the signed SAML response or not. Default is disabled.

Specify whether IdP will encrypt SAML assertion or not.

Select to enable the webapp to receive an encrypted SAML assertion. Default is enabled.

Specify the alias name of the private key present in the gateway nodes gateway node SAML truststore that used for Informatica uses to decrypt decrypting the SAML assertion.

Provide the password to access the private key to use when decrypting the assertion encryption key.
