Why each option
The Sensitive Parameter feature in BIG-IP ASM masks designated parameter values so they do not appear in cleartext within the ASM GUI or system logs.
The feature does not alter or suppress the client request itself - the data is still transmitted and processed normally by the application.
Sensitive Parameter does not modify or redact content in server responses - it operates only on the logging and display layer of the ASM system.
Sensitive Parameter is designed specifically to prevent exposure of values like passwords or credit card numbers within the BIG-IP ASM management interface and request logs - the parameter value is replaced with asterisks in those locations so administrators cannot inadvertently view or leak the data.
The configuration file stores the parameter definition (name, type, flag), not the runtime values - masking in config files is not the function this feature serves.
