Domain Selection

After you review the Pre-Installation summary, you can enter the domain information.
  1. Press
    1
    to create a domain.
    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.
  2. Select whether you want to enable secure communication for services in the domain.
    1. Press
      1
      to disable secure communication for the domain.
    2. Press
      2
      to enable secure communication for the domain.
    By default, if you enable secure communication for the domain, the installer sets up an HTTPS connection for the Informatica Administrator. You can also create a domain configuration repository on a secure database.
  3. Specify the connection details for Informatica Administrator.
    1. If you do not enable secure communication for the domain, you can specify whether to set up a secure HTTPS connection for the Informatica Administrator.
      The following table describes the options available to enable or disable a secure connection to Informatica Administrator:
      Option
      Description
      Enable HTTPS for Informatica Administrator
      Set up a secure connection to Informatica Administrator.
      Disable HTTPS
      Do not set up a secure connection to Informatica Administrator.
    2. If you enable secure communication for the domain or if you enable HTTPS connection for the Informatica Administrator, enter the keystore file and port number for the HTTPS connection to Informatica Administrator.
      The following table describes the connection information you must enter if you enable HTTPS:
      Option
      Description
      Port

      Keystore file
      Select whether to use a keystore file generated by the installer or a keystore file you create. You can use a keystore file with a self-signed certificate or a certificate signed by a certification authority.
      1 - Use a keystore generated by the installer
      2 - Specify a keystore file and password
      If you select to use a keystore file generated by the installer, the installer creates a self-signed keystore file named Default.keystore in the following location:
      <Informatica installation directory>/tomcat/conf/
    3. If you specify the keystore, enter the password and location of the keystore file.
    4. If you enabled secure communication for the domain, the
      Domain Security - Secure Communication
      section appears.
    5. If you did not enable secure communication for the domain, the
      Domain Configuration Repository
      section appears. Skip to Domain Configuration Repository.
  4. Select whether to enable SAML authentication to configure Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML)-based single sign-on (SSO) support for web-based Informatica applications in an Informatica domain.

      If you select No, skip to Domain Security - Secure Connection.
    2. Press 2 for Yes to enable SAML authentication.
      If you select Yes, configure the SAML authentication.

    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.
  8. 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 file:
    Property
