Protected parameters are those parameters which are part of the HTTP request and whose values should not be exposed in plain text in the trace files generated by WebSphere Commerce. (The parameters do not include header values found in the HTTP request.) They include sensitive information such as credit card numbers and user passwords. The Protected Parameter page of the Configuration Manager displays a list of all parameters that are currently protected.
To add a parameter to the list, complete the following steps:
- On the Protected Parameters page, right-click and select Add parameter.
- In the table row that is created, enter the name of the parameter that you want protected.
- Click Apply.
To remove a parameter from the list, right-click the parameter and select Delete parameter.
For more information on tracing, refer to the WebSphere Commerce Administration Guide.
