Domain authentication allows Data Validation Option users to be associated with users in a PowerCenter domain. It requires the Data Validation Option user to log in as that user when they start the Data Validation Client.
Domain Authentication is set via the
Informatica Authentication
panel in the
Preferences
dialog box, as shown in the following image:
Authentication can be set via any client associated with a given Data Validation Option repository. However, after it is enabled in one client, it is enabled in all clients; that is, it is a repository setting. All users for a given Data Validation Option repository must connect via native security or domain authentication.
