Configure the domain configuration repository

Configure the domain configuration repository

After you configure domain security, you can configure the domain repository details. The domain configuration repository stores metadata for domain operations and user authentication. Ensure that repository database is accessible to the gateway node in the domain.
  1. Select the database for the domain configuration repository details.
    The following table lists the databases you can use for the domain configuration repository:
    Prompt
    Description
    Database type
    Type of database for the domain configuration repository. Select from the following options:
    • 1 - Oracle
    • 2 - SQL Server
    • 3 - DB2
    • 4 - Sybase
    • 5 - PostgreSQL
    Default is Oracle.
  2. Enter the properties for the database user account.
    The following table lists the properties for the database user account:
    Property
    Description
    Database User ID
    Name for the domain configuration database user account.
    User Password
    Password for the domain configuration database user account.
  3. If you do not create a secure domain configuration repository, enter the parameters for the database.
    1. If you select
      IBM DB2
      , select whether to configure a tablespace and enter the tablespace name.
      Property
      Description
      Configure tablespace
      In a single-partition database, if you select
      No
      , the installer creates the tables in the default tablespace. In a multi-partition database, you must select
      Yes
      .
      Select whether to specify a tablespace:
      • 1 - No
      • 2 - Yes
      Tablespace
      Name of the tablespace in which to create the tables. Specify a tablespace that meets the pageSize requirement of 32768 bytes.
      In a single-partition database, enter the name of the tablespace in which to create the tables.
      In a multi-partition database, specify the name of the non-partitioned tablespace that resides in the catalog partition of the database.
    2. If you select
      Microsoft SQL Server
      or
      PostgreSQL
      , enter the schema name for the database.
      Enter the name of the schema that will contain the domain configuration tables. If the parameter is blank, the installer creates the tables in the default schema.
  4. Choose whether to enter secure database parameters.
    You can create a domain configuration repository in a database secured with TLS. To enter secure database parameters, press
    1
    . If you don't want to enter secure database parameters, press
    2
    .
  5. If you create a secure domain configuration repository, enter the parameters for the secure database.
    The following table describes the options available to create a secure domain configuration repository database:
    Property
    Description
    Database Truststore File
    Absolute path to the truststore file for the secure database.
    Database Truststore Password
    Password for the truststore file.
    Custom JDBC Connection String
    JDBC connection string to connect to the secure database, including the host name and port number and the security parameters for the database.
    The following table describes the secure database parameters to configure:
    Database parameter
    Description
    EncryptionMethod
    Required. Indicates whether data is encrypted when transmitted over the network. Set to
    SSL
    .
    ValidateServerCertificate
    Optional. Indicates whether Informatica validates the certificate that the database server sends.
    If this parameter is set to True, Informatica validates the certificate that the database server sends. If you specify the HostNameInCertificate parameter, Informatica also validates the host name in the certificate.
    If this parameter is set to False, Informatica doesn't validate the certificate that the database server sends. Informatica ignores any truststore information that you specify
    HostNameInCertificate
    Optional. Host name of the machine that hosts the secure database. If you specify a host name, Informatica validates the host name included in the connection string against the host name in the certificate.
    cryptoProtocolVersion
    Required. Specifies the cryptographic protocol to use to connect to a secure database.
    Based on the cryptographic protocol used by the database server, set to one of the following values:
    • cryptoProtocolVersion=TLSv1.1
    • cryptoProtocolVersion=TLSv1.2
    Provide a JDBC connection string that includes the security parameters for the database.
    You cannot configure a secure connection to a Sybase database.
    The following table provides the database connection string syntax:
    Database
    Connection string syntax
    IBM DB2
    jdbc:Informatica:db2://<host name>:<port number>;DatabaseName=<database name>;EncryptionMethod=SSL;HostNameInCertificate=<database host name>;ValidateServerCertificate=<true or false>
    Oracle
    jdbc:Informatica:oracle://<host name>:<port number>;ServiceName=<service name>;EncryptionMethod=SSL;HostNameInCertificate=<database host name>;ValidateServerCertificate=<true or false>
    Micrososft SQL Server
    jdbc:Informatica:sqlserver://<host name>:<port number>;SelectMethod=cursor;DatabaseName=<database name>;EncryptionMethod=SSL;HostNameInCertificate=<database host name>;ValidateServerCertificate=<true or false>
    PostgreSQL
    jdbc:Informatica:postgresql://<host name>:<port number>;DatabaseName=<database name>;EncryptionMethod=SSL;HostNameInCertificate=<database host name>;ValidateServerCertificate=<true or false>
    The installer doesn't validate the connection string. Verify that the connection string contains all the connection parameters and security parameters required by your database.
