DefineDomain

Creates a domain on the current machine. If you define a domain on a machine that hosts a domain, you must first stop the Informatica services on the machine. infasetup removes the existing domain and node settings. After you define the new domain, restart Informatica services.
To create a domain on a Windows machine, you must first open the host port or disable the firewall.
Do not include any characters after the option (-f) in the DefineDomain command. If you include extra characters, infasetup might fail with an unexpected error.
The DefineDomain command uses the following syntax:

If you do not use the default SSL certificate, you must specify the keystore and truststore options. Valid values are true or false. Default is false. If you specify the -tls option without a value, the Informatica domain uses secure communication among the services.

If true, the domain uses Kerberos authentication, and you cannot later change the authentication mode. After you enable Kerberos authentication, you cannot disable it. Default is false. If you specify the -krb option without a value, the Informatica domain uses Kerberos authentication.

The number of SPNs and keytab files required for each node depends on the number of service processes that run on the node. Use the node level option if the domain does not require a high level of security.
  • - Node. The domain uses one SPN and keytab file for the node and all services that run on the node. It also requires a separate SPN and keytab file for all HTTP processes on the node.
