PM15739: SIP PROXY TRACING DOES NOT SUPPORT HIDING SPECIFIC FIELD HEADERS

Fixes are available

APAR status

Closed as program error.

Error description

When traces are enabled at the SIP Proxy, incoming and outgoing
SIP messages are displayed.   These messages sometimes include
sensitive information.    The SIP Proxy needs to give the
customer the ability to hide these sensitive headers.

****************************************************************
The SIP Proxy is printing out all headers in the SIP messages.
  If the customer has to send a trace log to IBM for debug, it
may contain sensitive information.

Problem conclusion

The code has been updated so that it does not print values for
the "Authorization:" and "Proxy-Authorization" headers.   If
other headers need to be hidden, a custom property can filter
out other headers.

The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
fix pack WAS 7.0.0.13 and WAS 6.1.0.35.  Please refer to the
Recommended Updates page for delivery information:
http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=180&uid=swg27004980

Temporary fix

Manually edit the trace log files to
remove the sensitive header information
before sending the logs to IBM.
