101 Question #170: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation
The correct answer is C: GUI and logs of BIG-IP ASM System. 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.
Question
Sensitive parameter is a feature used to hide sensitive information from being displayed in which of the following?
Options
- AClient request
- BServer response
- CGUI and logs of BIG-IP ASM System
- DConfiguration file of BIG-IP ASM System
Explanation
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.
Common mistakes.
- A. The feature does not alter or suppress the client request itself - the data is still transmitted and processed normally by the application.
- B. Sensitive Parameter does not modify or redact content in server responses - it operates only on the logging and display layer of the ASM system.
- D. 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.
