AltostratusASM DATA GUARD NOT SENDING DATA TO SERVER
I enabled the DATA GUARD feature on ASM and it effectively scrubbed the credit card numbers but, the digits were not forwarded to the application for processing. That nullifies the whole essence of deployment. Please, how do I get the data scrubbing feature activated and also get the actual data sent to the application server?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
can you confirm that you configure your Data guard like that:
- Data Guard: checked (enabled)
- Credit Card Numbers: checked (enabled)
- Mask Data: checked (enabled)
But normaly, Data Guard is for masking server responses (request is not necessary...): https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_asm/manuals/product/asm-implementations-11-5-0/9.html

Data Guard is intended to mask sensitive data in a response from the application. If your app needs to receive credit card data unmasked, then Data Guard is not the solution. The typical use case for masking data is one in which you would like to prevent the application from accidentally leaking sensitive data in a response which might then be visible on the client side or on the wire.
