Dynamic data masking (DDM) enables security and DDM administrators to control which end users of applications are authorized to view sensitive information and mask (or obfuscate) sensitive data when viewed by unauthorized users.

DDM in OpenEdge database provides database utilities to:
  • Enable or disable DDM both, online and offline.
  • Activate DDM on a database and puts DDM policies into effect.
  • Deactivate DDM on a database where DDM policies are ignored.
  • Support a multi-site replication deployment.

DDM in OpenEdge database also prevents DDM-enabled database access by OpenEdge releases earlier than OpenEdge 12.8 and refuses connections to remote clients employing earlier network protocols.

For more information on how to configure DDM and how to get started, see Introduction to Dynamic Data Masking in the Learn about Security and Auditing.
