Using an Encrypted Proxy Password

When you configure HTTP proxy options for the PowerCenter Client, you can use an encrypted proxy account password to enhance security.

To use an encrypted password, perform the following tasks:

Encrypt the proxy account password using the PowerCenter command line program, pmpasswd.

You can locate pmpasswd in the following directory on the PowerCenter Integration Service machine:

 <InformaticaInstallationDir>/server/bin

When you encrypt the password, you can use the CRYPT_DATA or CRYPT_SYSTEM encryption type.

Use the encrypted password as the proxy password in the pmsfdc.ini file.

Add the Encrypted parameter to the pmsfdc.ini file and configure the parameter as follows:

Use DEFAULT for passwords encrypted with the CRYPT_DATA encryption type.

Use SYSTEM for passwords encrypted with the CRYPT_SYSTEM encryption type.
