ASM - Dynamic vs User-Input parameters

Can someone explain the difference between a learned 'dynamic' parameter vs 'User-Input' parameter and how ASM defines each as well as how the ASM determines what is Dynamic vs. User-Input?

 

Thank you.

    Mortoj,

     

    A dynamic parameter is one who's value is set on the serverside and by configuring a parameter as such protects against malicious persons amended it on the Clientside, ie parameter tampering.

     

    A user input one is one which is allowed to be modified on the Clientside ie a login parameter taking a user's username.

     

    Hope this helps,
