To enable authentication, map each Data Validation Option user to an Informatica user. If you want Data Validation Option to map the name of a Data Validation Option user to an Informatica user automatically, use the same name for both users. If the two users have different names, then you can use the DVOCmd LinkDVOUsersToInformatica command to map the Data Validation Option user to the Informatica user.

The permissions of an Informatica user determine whether the associated Data Validation Option user can access PowerCenter metadata. After you enable Informatica authentication, verify that the permissions and privileges are set correctly for each Informatica user.
