Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services sends data from the Secure Agent to the Process Server through the Secure Agent Channel or a through a direct HTTP or HTTPS link.
The Secure Agent communicates with Process Server in two ways:
The Secure Agent Channel
A secure channel that creates tunnels between each connected Secure Agent and Process Server.
HTTP or HTTPS
A protocol over which the Secure Agent directly sends data to Process Server. If you use this communication method, Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services validates your credentials against the authentication provider.
For more information about the communication method that each Process Server property uses, see the Process Server Properties.
