Log In to Informatica Administrator
You must have a user account to log in to the Informatica Administrator web application.
If the Informatica domain runs on a network with Kerberos authentication, you must configure the browser to allow access to the Informatica web applications. In Microsoft Internet Explorer and Google Chrome, add the URL of the Informatica web application to the list of trusted sites. If you are using Chrome version 41 or later, you must also set the AuthServerWhitelist and AuthNegotiateDelegateWhitelist policies.
1. Start a Microsoft Internet Explorer or Google Chrome browser.
2. In the Address field, enter the URL for the Administrator tool:
- - If the Administrator tool is not configured to use a secure connection, enter the following URL:
http://<fully qualified hostname>:<http port>/administrator/
- - If the Administrator tool is configured to use a secure connection, enter the following URL:
https://<fully qualified hostname>:<http port>/administrator/
Host name and port in the URL represent the host name and port number of the master gateway node. If you configured secure communication for the domain, you must use HTTPS in the URL to ensure that you can access the Administrator tool.
If you use Kerberos authentication, the network uses single sign on. You do not need to log in to the Administrator tool with a user name and password.
3. If you do not use Kerberos authentication, enter the user name, password, and security domain for your user account, and then click Login.
The Security Domain field appears when the Informatica domain contains an LDAP security domain. If you do not know the security domain that your user account belongs to, contact the Informatica domain administrator.
Note: If this is the first time you log in with the user name and password provided by the domain administrator, change your password to maintain security.
Informatica Administrator URL
In the Administrator tool URL, <host>:<port> represents the host name of the master gateway node and the Administrator tool port number.
You configure the Administrator tool port when you define the domain. You can define the domain during installation or by running the infasetup DefineDomain command line program. If you enter the domain port instead of the Administrator tool port in the URL, the browser is directed to the Administrator tool port.
Troubleshooting the Login to Informatica Administrator
If the Informatica domain uses Kerberos authentication, you might encounter the following issues when logging in to the Administrator tool:
- I cannot log in to the Administrator tool from the same machine where I created the domain gateway node.
After installation, if you cannot log in to the Administrator tool from the same machine where you created the domain gateway node, clear the browser cache. When you initially log in to the Administrator tool after installation, you can only log in with the Administrator user account created during installation. If a different user credential is stored in the browser cache, the login can fail.
- A blank page appears after I log in to the Administrator tool.
If a blank page appears after you log in to the Administrator tool, verify that you enabled delegation for all user accounts with service principals used in the Informatica domain. To enable delegation, in the Microsoft Active Directory Service, set the Trust this user for delegation to any service (Kerberos only) option for each user account that you set an SPN.
