Defining Information Pattern in Custom Format to Obfuscate Sensitive Information

Use this group policy to specify information that is not displayed in auditing results. You specify the information to omit from display by defining a pattern in the group policy. Information that matches the pattern is not displayed in auditing results.

If this group policy is not configured or disabled, all information is displayed in auditing results. By default, this group policy is not configured.

If you enable this group policy, you must define a pattern as follows for information that is not displayed.

• Type the pattern that will not be displayed in auditing results. For example:

  nnnn-nnnn-nnnn-nnnn

• Each single character in a pattern corresponds to one character in actual session data.

• If you define more than one pattern, separate the patterns with spaces. For example:

  nnnn-nnnn A-nnnn

Supported characters in a pattern are as follows:

a	Any lower case letter.
A	Any upper case letter.
d	Any character.
D	Any letter.
n	Any decimal digit character. e following: ~ ` ! @ # (space) $ % ^ & * ( - _ = + [ { ] } | \ : ; ' < , > . ? /
-	Separator for exact matching in session data.
_	Separator for exact matching in session data.
(	Separator for exact matching in session data.
)	Separator for exact matching in session data.
,	Separator for exact matching in session data.
.	Separator for exact matching in session data.

This group policy modifies the dash.obfuscate.pattern setting in the centrifyda.conf configuration file.
