Release Tasks for Enterprise Data Catalog

Release Tasks for Enterprise Data Catalog

Effective in 10.5.3, LDAP authentication within the MetaDex framework is integrated with the Informatica domain.
If you used LDAP authentication in a previous release, you must configure LDAP authentication and synchronize users between the MetaDex framework and the Informatica domain.

Configure LDAP Authentication

  1. Open the scanners.properties file from the following location:
    <Informatica installation directory>/services/CatalogService/AdvancedScannersApplication/app/etc
  2. Add the following credentials for the Catalog Administrator user that has the privilege to manage users and groups: 
    scanners.platform.auth.password=ENCRYPTED_PASSWORD
scanners.platform.auth.security-domain=SECURITY_DOMAIN
scanners.platform.auth.username=USERNAME
  3. If you want to use more than one domain, add the following property to specify the domain name: 
    scanners.platform.auth.domain=DOMAIN_NAME
  4. If you want to migrate from a previous version of the MetaDex server with LDAP configuration, add the following property: 
    scanners.web.edc.migration.domainOrderSearch=DOMAIN_NAMES
    This property specifies the order in which the MetaDex server searches for the LDAP users in the native Informatica domains.
  5. Run the following commands to recycle the MetaDex server: 
    INFA_HOME/services/CatalogService/AdvancedScannersApplication/app/sh server.sh stop
INFA_HOME/services/CatalogService/AdvancedScannersApplication/app/ nohup sh server.sh &

Synchronize Users

  1. Open the scanners.properties file from the following location:
    <Informatica installation directory>/services/CatalogService/AdvancedScannersApplication/app/etc
  2. Add the following properties:
    • To synchronize one user, add
      scanners.platform.auth.web.admin-users=Native/Administrator
      Where <Native/Administrator> is the administrator of the native domain. Apply the following syntax: DomainName/Username.
    • To synchronize a list of users, add:
      scanners.platform.auth.web.admin-users-separator
      . For example: 
      scanners.platform.auth.web.admin-users=DomainName1/Username1;DomainName2/Username2;DomainName3/Username3
    • To synchronize a user group, add:
      scanners.platform.auth.web.admin-groups=Native/group1
      Where <Native/group1> is the user group 1 from the native domain. Apply the following syntax: DomainName/GroupName.
    • To synchronize a list of groups, add:
      scanners.platform.auth.web.admin-groups-separator
      . For example: 
      scanners.platform.auth.web.admin-groups-separator=DomainName1/Group1;DomainName2/Group2;DomainName3/Group3
  3. Run the following commands to recycle the MetaDex server: 
    INFA_HOME/services/CatalogService/AdvancedScannersApplication/app/sh server.sh stop
INFA_HOME/services/CatalogService/AdvancedScannersApplication/app/ nohup sh server.sh &
