MDM Security and Access Control 5

Question 1

Which Informatica MDM API security mechanism requires callers to pass a session token obtained from an initial login call?

Accepted Answer

MDM Hub SIF session tokens

Answer

The MDM Hub Services Integration Framework (SIF) uses session tokens obtained via a login() call that must be passed with all subsequent API requests to authenticate the caller.

Question 2

A security audit finds that multiple MDM Hub users share the same login credentials. What is the primary risk this creates?

Accepted Answer

Loss of individual accountability in audit logs and inability to enforce per-user access controls

Answer

Shared credentials prevent MDM audit logs from attributing changes to individual users and make it impossible to enforce per-user data filters or tailored privilege sets.

Question 3

In Informatica MDM, what security consideration applies when using the Bulk Data Manager for large-scale data loads?

Accepted Answer

Bulk loads bypass all row-level security and data filters

Answer

Bulk data operations in MDM Hub typically bypass row-level data filters, so organizations must ensure that bulk load service accounts are tightly restricted and audited.

Question 4

Which Informatica MDM security feature allows masking a field like date-of-birth so some users see the full value while others see only the year?

Accepted Answer

Separate packages with different field projections

Answer

Creating multiple packages — one with the full DOB field and one with only a partial or masked projection — and assigning package READ privileges to different roles achieves field-level access differentiation.

Question 5

When Informatica MDM is integrated with an external identity provider via LDAP groups, how are LDAP groups typically mapped to MDM security?

Accepted Answer

LDAP group membership is mapped to MDM Hub roles through explicit configuration in the Hub Console

Answer

Administrators explicitly map LDAP groups to MDM Hub roles in the Hub Console security configuration, giving LDAP group members the privileges of the corresponding MDM role.
