Specify Data Redaction Behavior for Data Elements

This topic describes how to specify the redaction behavior for data elements.

Specifying the Data Redaction Behavior

You can specify the redaction behavior for data elements to secure information against unauthorized access.

To make any changes to the security configurations of a data element, you must first acquire the lock by clicking Lock & Edit.

To specify the redaction behavior for a data element:

  1. Click the Lock & Edit button.
  2. Select the Security Configuration tab from the navigation pane and click the data service associated with the data element that you need to secure.
  3. Click the Secured Elements tab and select the checkbox next to the data element for which you want to specify the redaction behavior.
  4. Click Save. This data element is now visible under the data service in the navigation tree.
  5. Select the data element from the navigation tree and click the Secured Elements Configuration tab.
  6. Select the redaction behavior for the data element and set the default value if necessary. Click Save > Activate Changes.

  • To apply encryption-based data redaction to the element, select the Encrypt value using the WebLogic Server encryption service button.
  • To have the system omit the element or attribute, select the Remove element button.
  • To specify a default value for the element or attribute, select the Use default value button and specify the default value. This assigns a constant value for the element or attribute. For example, assigning "000-00-0000" as the default value for an element named SSN causes this value to appear every time the SSN element is returned. Note however that this feature supports only primitive types, so you cannot specify a default value for complex types. Also, if you select the Use default value button, you must specify a default value for the resource.

    See Data Redaction Conditions for more information about specific conditions related to selecting a data redaction option.
