  • 1.  Mask email

    Posted 01-04-2024 01:36:00 AM

    Hello all,

    We are trying to mask just the username part of the mail address by leaving the domain part unmasked

    Thanks,
    Harsha

    Hi Harsha

    Please refer to the documentation for Email (Algorithm frameworks)

    Creating a new algorithm using this framework will allow you to mask only the name portion of the email address, preserving the domain if required

    Many thanks

    Hi Andrew,


    Our system mandates domain replacement as a required field. Providing "gmail.com" as input ensures that all masked values adopt the "gmail.com" domain.



    The documentation includes an error handling action option. Will this pose any issues for masking only the domain part?


    if we have any specific algo or expression please let me know

    Thanks,
    Harsha

    Hi Harsh

    In your first message you said you only wanted to mask the username/name portion of the email

    But from your second message it sounds like you want to mask the username/name portion, and also change all domains to gmail.com. Have I understood correctly?

    If I haven't, it may be useful to provide a couple of examples to explain what you are trying to achieve

    I I have understood, you can do this by choosing the "Unique Value" option for the name portion, and pasting in your required gmail.com into the domain replacement text box for the domain portion

    The error handling action is described by our documentation

    • Select an error handling action for exceptions thrown by chained algorithms:
      • Exception: default action allowing exceptions from chained algorithms to be handled by global settings.

      • Character Mapping: masks the name or domain segment causing the exception with the CM Alphanumeric algorithm.

      • Preserve Value: returns the exception causing segment unmasked.

    Hello Andrew ,
    I used "gmail.com" as an example, but our database contains various domain names, and the domain part doesn't require masking.
    And gmail.com is used in the box Domain Replacement (this cant be left blank).
    Thanks,
    Harsha


    Thanks,
    Harsha

    Hi Harsha

    If you don't want to mask the domain portion, please use the "Preserve Value" option for domain, as per our docs:

    • From the dropdown Mask Domain With, choose one of the following options:

      • Replacement Text: replaces the domain portion with a fixed value.

      • Algorithm: applies the specified extensible algorithm instance.

      • Preserve Value: does not mask domain portion.

    Again, if I have misunderstood your requirement, please provide some examples of input and output values

    Thanks

    Hello Andrew,


    This image is from our Delphix engine 

    We don't have the option to select "Preserve Value" in the "Mask Domain With" feature. We only have two options: Replacement text and Algorithm. This information pertains to version 15.0.0.0 of our Delphix engine.

    Hi Harsha

    That feature was added in version 17.0.0.0, see Continuous Compliance | Release notes | New Features

    I would advise upgrading to that version to achieve the functionality you are looking for 

    Many thanks

    Hello Andrew,

    Thank you for the information.

    We are currently utilizing a system within the Azure platform.

    Could you please provide steps or guidance for the upgrade process, if any? Your suggestions would be appreciated.
