    Hi,

     

    1. You must decide wich meta characters is allowed for the parameters.
    2. If you accept suggestion for wildcard parameters illegal meta characters would be accepted for all parameters but not for particular learned parameters.
    3. Allowed: Specifies that the character or meta character can occur in parameter values. Disallowed: Specifies that the character or meta character can not occur in parameter values.
    4. This settings came from /Security/Application Security/Parameters/Characters Sets
