HOW TO: Change authentication mode

HOW TO: Change authentication mode after installing B2B Data Exchange 9.0.1

Solution

B2B Data Exchange verifies user names and passwords using one of two optional modes:

•B2B Data Exchange Native Authentication mode: Users are maintained in B2B Data Exchanges repository and managed by the system administrator.

The password is identical to the user name and cannot be changed. User authentication is done against the B2B Data Exchange repository. This authentication mode is recommended for development environments and not production environments.


•Informatica Services Platform (ISP) Authentication mode: ISP is the framework used by all Informatica products to manage user names and passwords. User names and passwords are managed by the administrator using the Administration Console and stored in the ISP security domain. The B2B Data Exchange user information should be synchronized periodically (manually) from ISP. Authentication is done using the ISP authentication service.
While installing B2B Data Exchange, you select the authentication mode, Native or ISP. The authentication mode can be changed after installation by configuring system parameters and running the following command:

C:\Informatica\9.0.1\B2BDX\DataExchange\dx-tools>repoutil.bat -c migratetoISP -l jdbc:informatica:oracle://tsora11g:1521;SID=orcl" -u mparamasa -p mparamas --file properties.txt
