Overview

Overview

MDM Registry Edition (MDM-RE) is a software to add search and matching applications to identity data stored in databases and Data Warehouses.
MDM Registry Security Framework is a Java security framework that performs authentication, authorization, cryptography, session management, and provisioning. The framework hides implementation complexities and it exposes a simple API interface that can save developer efforts in securing any application. MDM-RE security provides role-based authentication and authorization on users.
The MDM-RE Security Framework guide describes features of framework, architecture, configuration, and how to configure the framework.

Features

The MRBS framework provides the following features:
Authentication
Authentication is the process of verifying the identity of a user to ensure that the user is valid. A
user
is an
individual
who wants to access the Informatica MDM-RE resources.
Authorization
Authorization is the process of determining whether a user has sufficient privileges to access the requested resource.
Provisioning
Provisioning is a process of implementing and managing the security policies for an application. Provisioning includes the following:
  1. Create/Delete Users
  2. Create User roles and User groups
  3. System resources that needs secure access
  4. Privileges and Permissions
To create the security policies to access the system resources, Provisioning creates permissions using privileges and assigning roles to permissions and roles to users.
Cryptography
Supports crypto algorithms for securing user credentials.
Cache Manager
The MRBS framework uses cache for better performance.
Back-end support
Database or a directory service such as LDAP (Light-Weight Directory Access Protocol) stores the application specific data such as Users, Resources, Privileges, and Permissions.
