The masking policy hides sensitive information in traces logged by the message composer (typically strings generated by Java Server Pages), inbound messages, and outbound messages. If the masking policy is not disabled, all trace information which contains potentially sensitive information logged by WC_SENSITIVE_INFO will only reveal the first 4 and last 4 characters. The rest of the characters in the string will be masked using the "." character.
To disable the masking policy for messaging system tracing, open WCServer_enterprise_archive/xml/config/wc-attribute-masking.xml in a text editor and comment out the following section :
<wc:MaskingPolicy description="Shows the 1st 8 characters and the last 8 characters. All other characters will be replaced with '.'." classname="com.ibm.commerce.masking.impl.ShowEndCharactersMaskingPolicyImpl"> <wc:MaskingPolicyAttributes> <wc:Attribute name="showFirst" value="4" /> <wc:Attribute name="showLast" value="4" /> <wc:Attribute name="replaceCharacter" value="." /> <wc:Attribute name="contentLength" value="8" /> </wc:MaskingPolicyAttributes> <wc:MaskedAttributes> <wc:MaskedAttribute name="composer" compareType="starts" /> <wc:MaskedAttribute name="inbound" compareType="starts" /> <wc:MaskedAttribute name="outbound" compareType="starts" /> </wc:MaskedAttributes> </wc:MaskingPolicy>
