Certificate Based Authentication

Certificate Based Authentication

The MDM Hub uses a certificate-based authentication mechanism for securing the authentication between the MDM Hub components and trusted applications. The authentication mechanism is also supported for the Business Entity Services APIs.
External client applications can make business entity service requests to the MDM Hub. You must register the external client application users as trusted application users in the MDM Hub. You must also register the public certificate for the users associated with the external client application.
After registration, the external client users can send encrypted authentication requests to the MDM Hub using the private key. The MDM Hub decrypts the authentication request using the public key and responds with requested data in plain text.
User authentication requests for Business Entity Services payload are encrypted using the private key and are decrypted using the public key.
To register the public key and the certificate with the MDM Hub, contact Informatica Global Customer Support.
For more information about how to configure trusted applications and certificate based authentication, see the Certificate Based Authentication chapter in the Informatica Multidomain MDM 10.4 Security Guide.
