Secure Agent installation is one of the primary steps involved in IDMC Administration. It uses pluggable microservices for data processing. For example, the Data Integration Server runs all data integration jobs, and the Process Server runs application integration and process orchestration jobs.
You can install and run one Secure Agent on a physical or virtual machine. After you install a Secure Agent, all users in the organization share the Secure Agent. You can configure the Secure Agent properties and move it to a different Secure Agent group. To improve scalability, you can also add multiple agents to a Secure Agent group.On Windows, the Secure Agent runs as a Windows service. When you install the Secure Agent, you also install the Informatica Cloud Secure Agent Manager.
By default, the Secure Agent starts when you start Windows. You can stop and restart the Secure Agent using the Secure Agent Manager or Windows Services. If you install the Secure Agent on a different volume than you use to run the installation program, you must start and stop the Secure Agent from Windows Services.
You can also use the Secure Agent Manager to check the Secure Agent status and configure proxy information. The Secure Agent works with BASIC, DIGEST, and NTLMv2 proxy authentication.
