Configuring TDPaaS
You can configure your CipherTrust Manager instance to use TDPaaS for saving the scan and report data.
Prerequisites
Ensure that your instance can connect to https://us.tdpaas.dpondemand.io over the standard HTTPS port 443.
(Recommended) Whitelist the URL to facilitate communication with TDPaaS without issues.
Regions
TDPaaS is a cloud-based service for which you must choose a region to save the scan and report data. It is advised to select the region based on the proximity and sovereignty requirements.
Note
Currently, only the us-central1 region is available.
Configuring DDC for TDPaaS
For configuring TDPaaS, you don't need to add any external connections or configure any settings.
To configure your CipherTrust Manager instance with TDPaaS:
Log in to CipherTrust Manager.
Go to Data Discovery and Classification > Settings > Data Management Service tab.
Select a region from the Region dropdown.
Note
Region cannot be modified once the TDPaaS is configured. It is advised to choose the region based on the proximity and sovereignty requirements.
Click Get Credentials.
The credentials are generated and saved with the CipherTrust Manager to be used by Data Discovery and Classification. A unique Customer ID is created corresponding to the current CipherTrust Manager instance.
Click the Download Credentials button to download and save the credentials for future use.
Caution
It is recommended to store the TDPaaS credentials in a secure location.
These credentials are essential for re-establishing the TDPaaS connection if settings are corrupted or lost. To restore the connection, you must upload the downloaded credentials when prompted by CipherTrust Manager. Without the credentials, restoring TDPaaS connection is not possible.
