Create the PowerCenter Repository User

If the domain does not use Kerberos authentication, the domain uses a user account to authenticate other application services that make requests to the PowerCenter Repository Service. You must create a user account and assign the user the Administrator role for the PowerCenter Repository Service.

When you create an application service that depends on the PowerCenter Repository Service, you provide the name of the PowerCenter Repository Service and of this PowerCenter repository user.

In the Administrator tool, click the

Security

tab.

On the Security Actions menu, click

Create User

to create a native user account.

If you set up LDAP authentication in the domain, you can use an LDAP user account for the PowerCenter repository user.

Enter the following properties for the user:
