   Table 1 Rule parameters

   Parameter	Description	Example Value
   Path	URL excluding a domain name Prefix match: The path ending with * indicates that the path is used as a prefix. For example, if the path to be protected is /admin/test.php or /adminabc, set Path to /admin*. Exact match: The path to be entered must match the path to be protected. If the path to be protected is /admin, set Path to /admin. NOTE: The path supports prefix and exact matches only and does not support regular expressions. The path cannot contain two or more consecutive slashes. For example, ///admin. If you enter ///admin, the WAF engine converts /// to /.	/admin/login.php For example, if the URL to be protected is http://www.example.com/admin/login.php, set Path to /admin/login.php.
   Masked Field	A field set to be masked Params: A request parameter Header: A user-defined HTTP header	If Masked Field is set to Params, configure Subfield based on your needs. If it is set to id, the content that matches id will be masked. If Masked Field is set to Header, configure Subfield based on your needs. If it is set to Accept, the content that matches Accept will be masked.
   Subfield	Set the parameter based on Masked Field. The masked field will not be displayed in the log. NOTICE: The length of a subfield cannot exceed 2048 bytes. Only digits, letters, underscores (_), and hyphens (-) are allowed.
