I've enabled Incident Thread Masking, why isn't it working?
Environment:
Service Incident Thread Masking
All supported releases
Resolution:
In order for Incident Thread Masking to take effect, the following must be done:
- The feature must be enabled. Contact your Oracle account manager for entitlement of this feature.
Note: Once this feature is enabled on a site, system masks such as credit card, ssn and phone number are automatically enabled and will start to mask immediately. However, if you find it is not, continue checking the following steps. - Mask(s) must be enabled in the Incident Thread Masking configuration window
- Changes to configurations must be Saved
- Masks must be Deployed
Path: Configuration > Service > Incident Thread Masking
When testing Custom Masks, the System Mask may actually be applied before the Custom Mask. Note the following precedences in how masking is applied to the data.
- System Masks have precedence over Custom Masks when evaluating data.
- Within System Masks the order of precedence in evaluating data is: Credit Card, SSN, Phone Number.
- Custom masks cannot be configured to display only some of the digits. The mask applies to all the data matching the custom mask.
Here are some examples of valid test credit card numbers:
| Number | Card type |
|---|---|
4242424242424242 |
Visa |
5555555555554444 |
MasterCard |
378282246310005 |
American Express |
6011111111111117 |
Discover |
30569309025904 |
Diners Club |
3530111333300000 |
JCB |
It is also possible for the System Credit Card Masking tool to mask numbers that are not credit card numbers if they meet the criteria. Numbers will be masked if the pattern passes the Luhn Algorithm test and the number is in one of the following formats:
#### #### #### #### or ####-####-####-####
#### ###### ##### or ####-######-#####
Numbers can be entered with or without dashes.
or
12-16 consecutive digits.\
