Set Up a Keystore File

You can optionally set up a secure connection to the TDM repository and to the test data warehouse.

When you configure the Test Data Manager Service, you can configure secure communication between Test Data Manager and the TDM repository. Set up a keystore file and provide the location of the file when you create the Test Data Manager Service to create a secure connection.

When you configure the Test Data Warehouse Service, you can configure secure communication between Test Data Manager and the test data warehouse. Set up a keystore file and provide the location of the file when you create the Test Data Warehouse Service to create a secure connection.

To create the required files, you can use the following programs:

keytool: You can use keytool to create an SSL certificate or a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) as well as keystores and truststores in JKS format.; For more information about using keytool, see the documentation on the following web site: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/tools/windows/keytool.html.
OpenSSL: You can use OpenSSL to create an SSL certificate or CSR as well as convert a keystore in JKS format to PEM format.; For more information about OpenSSL, see the documentation on the following website: https://www.openssl.org/docs/

For a higher level of security, send your CSR to a Certificate Authority (CA) to get a signed certificate.

Secure Connection to Test Data Manager

Before you secure the connection to Test Data Manager, verify that the following requirements are met:

You created a certificate signing request (CSR) and private key.: You can use keytool or OpenSSL to create the CSR and private key.; If you use RSA encryption, you must use more than 512 bits.

You have a signed SSL certificate.: The certificate can be self-signed or CA signed. Informatica recommends a CA signed certificate.

You imported the certificate into a keystore in JKS format.: A keystore must contain only one certificate. If you use a unique certificate for each web application service, create a separate keystore for each certificate. Alternatively, you can use a shared certificate and keystore.; If you use the installer-generated SSL certificate for the Administrator tool, you do not need to import the certificate into a keystore in JKS format.

The keystore is in the correct directory.: The keystore must be in a directory that is accessible to the installer.
