Select the Generic Database type to add a Generic Database connection node to the Management Console. Use the DDM for JDBC and DDM for ODBC services and a Generic Database node to mask data for a database that uses JDBC or ODBC connectivity.
You can use the Generic Database node for databases that do not have a dedicated database node. For example, use the Generic Database node with a Netezza or Greenplum database.
You provide information about the database and the database drivers. The client sends the request to Dynamic Data Masking. Dynamic Data Masking connects to the database to retrieve metadata in order to mask the SQL statement. Dynamic Data Masking masks the request and sends the masked request back to the client. The client then sends the masked request to the database. The database returns masked data.
Create a connection rule that uses the Switch to Database rule action to define the target database. Specify a database in the rule that corresponds to the Dynamic Data Masking Database Name parameter.
Click
Test Connection
to verify that the Dynamic Data Masking service can access the database.
