Domain Configuration Repository
The domain configuration repository contains information about the domain configuration and user privileges and permissions.
If the Informatica domain uses native user authentication, the domain configuration repository also contains the user credentials. If the domain uses LDAP authentication, the domain configuration repository does not contain the user credentials. All LDAP user credentials are stored outside the Informatica domain, in the LDAP directory service.
When you create the Informatica domain during installation, the installer creates a domain configuration repository in a relational database. You must specify the database in which to create the domain configuration repository. You can create the repository on a database secured with the SSL protocol.
