NOTRACEFIELD fieldnamelist — Prevent tracing of field

NOTRACEFIELD is a parameter on JANUS DEFINE, which defines and sets characteristics of a Janus port.

Indicates the form field or fields whose values are not to be traced when the X'04' bit (causes tracing of form field values for web requests) of JANUS TRACE is in effect. This is useful for preventing passwords in form fields from being logged to the audit trail. Multiple form fields names can be specified after NOTRACEFIELD by separating them with an "AND" as in

JANUS DEFINE MYWEB 80 WEBSERV 28 - NOTRACEFIELD PASSWORD AND NEWPASSWORD

When form field values are being traced because of the X'04' TRACE bit, the values for fields specified in the NOTRACEFIELD clause always appear as asterisk in the trace.

NOTRACEFIELD can be used to suppress password fields in forms used by NEWSESCMD processing or other fields that might contain secure information.

Note: The NOTRACEFIELD parameter will not prevent the logging of secure fields to the audit trail as part of a TCP trace resulting from the setting of the X'08' bit of JANUS TRACE.

Valid only for WEBSERV ports.
