PowerExchange for Greenplum Connections

PowerExchange for Greenplum Connections

When you configure a Greenplum connection, you define the connection attributes that the PowerCenter Integration Service uses to connect to Greenplum.
The following table describes the Greenplum connection properties that you must configure:

You can connect to a database that runs on a network that uses Kerberos authentication. To configure Kerberos authentication for the database connection, set the user name to the reserved word
PmKerberosUser
. If you use Kerberos authentication, the connection uses the credentials of the user account that runs the session to connect to the database. The user account must have a user principal on the Kerberos network where the database runs.
Password

If you set the user name to
