Configure Format Preserving Encryption Masking in a Hadoop Environment

Configure Format Preserving Encryption Masking in a Hadoop Environment

Before you can use the format preserving encryption masking type in a Hadoop plan, you must configure Test Data Management.
  1. Create a folder to store tokens on the Hadoop cluster. For example, create a
    tokens
    folder.
  2. Browse to the
    softhsm2.conf
    file on the
    <Informatica installation directory>\TDM\configuration
  3. Copy the
    softhsm2.conf
    file to the Hadoop cluster.
  4. Open the
    softhsm2.conf
    file on the Hadoop cluster machine and set the
    directories.tokendir
    property to the directory that you create in step 1 and save the change.
  5. Log in to Test Data Manager and click
    Administrator
    Connections
    .
  6. Open the connection that you use to push mappings to the Hadoop environment.
    You can find the Hadoop pushdown connection name from the
    Administrator
    Preferences
    Hive Properties
    tab.
  7. On the
    Hadoop Cluster Properties
    tab, add the
    Cluster Environment Variable
    information:
    • Name: SOFTHSM2_CONF
    • Value: Enter the path to the
      softhsm2.conf
      file on the Hadoop cluster machine. For example, enter
      /home/tdmhdp/ENCRYPTION_RELATED_DATA/softhsm2.conf
      .
