Step 2. Create a Connection to the Data Vault

To create a connection to the Data Vault, add the Data Vault and define the database properties.

Verify that no firewall prohibits the Dynamic Data Masking Server from connecting to the database server.

In the Management Console, right-click the root domain node and then

Add Database

The

Add Database

window appears.

Select the

FAS

database type.

Define the following properties for the Data Vault:

DDM Database Name: Name for the database that appears in the Management Console tree.
Server Address: Server host name or TCP/IP address for the Data Vault.
Server Port: TCP/IP listener port for the Data Vault. Informatica recommends that you do not use the default Data Vault listener port. If you enter the default Data Vault listener port, clients might bypass the Dynamic Data Masking Server.
FAS Database Name: Database name for the Data Vault.
DBA Username: User name for the database user account to log in to the Data Vault.
DBA Password: Password for database user.
