Connecting to the Domain

The infacmd command line program contains options that you use to connect to the domain. These options are common for all commands.
The following table describes the infacmd options that are common to all commands:
Option
Description
-DomainName
-dn
Required. Name of the Informatica domain. You can set the domain name with the -dn option or the environment variable INFA_DEFAULT_DOMAIN. If you set a domain name with both methods, the -dn option takes precedence.
-UserName
-un
User name to connect to the domain. You can set the user name with the -un option or the environment variable INFA_DEFAULT_DOMAIN_USER. If you set a user name with both methods, the -un option takes precedence.
Required if the domain uses Native or LDAP authentication.
Optional if the domain uses Kerberos authentication. To run the command with single sign-on, do not set the user name. If you set the user name, the command runs without single sign-on.
If the domain uses a single Kerberos realm for authentication, specify the samAccountName for the user. If the domain uses Kerberos cross realm authentication, specify the user principal name for the user.
-Password
-pd
Required if you specify the user name. Password for the user name. The password is case sensitive. You can set a password with the -pd option or the environment variable INFA_DEFAULT_DOMAIN_PASSWORD. If you set a password with both methods, the password set with the -pd option takes precedence.
-SecurityDomain
-sdn
Name of the security domain to which the domain user belongs. You can set a security domain with the -sdn option or the environment variable INFA_DEFAULT_SECURITY_DOMAIN. If you set a security domain name with both methods, the -sdn option takes precedence. The security domain name is case sensitive.
You can specify a value for ‑sdn or use the default based on the authentication mode:
  • - Required if the domain uses LDAP authentication. To work with LDAP authentication, you need to specify the value for -sdn.
  • - Optional if the domain uses native authentication or Kerberos authentication. If the domain uses native authentication, the default is native. If the domain uses Kerberos authentication, the default is the LDAP security domain created during installation. The name of the security domain is the same as the user realm specified during installation.
Default is Native.
-ResilienceTimeout
-re
Optional. Amount of time in seconds that infacmd attempts to establish or re-establish a connection to the domain. You can set the resilience timeout period with the -re option or the environment variable INFA_CLIENT_RESILIENCE_TIMEOUT. If you set the resilience timeout period with both methods, the -re option takes precedence.
