EI secure agents configuration and deployment

Understand the deployment, technical architecture, and IP allowlisting requirements for EI secure agents in IDMC.

EI secure agents

The EI secure agents are the specific secure agents used by most users of the UW-Madison ecosystem.

General information

The EI secure agents are the two agents named ei.secureagent.doit.wisc.edu, located in the standard test and prod orgs of Informatica Data Management Cloud (IDMC). The agents can be used by any user of the org and are the most commonly used agents within the org. Each agent is located on a private EC2 instance, so files can only be accessed through IDMC functionality. In addition, any files hosted on the secure agent are potentially visible to any user of that secure agent. If privacy is a requirement, consider hosting permanent files on an external source such as an Amazon S3 bucket.

Technical information

The EI secure agents are deployed in Docker containers on two separate AWS EC2 instances in private subnets. 

Due to the nature of a Docker container, files on the secure agents may be volatile — if the secure agent restarts, those files may be lost. If your integration requires non-volatile flat files, contact the Integration Team at integration-platform@doit.wisc.edu.

The IP addresses of the secure agents (to be used for allow-listing database and server connections) are as follows:

Technical information
Org IP address
test 3.230.240.5
prod 3.19.12.147
