When the RTV application or the Replay Server, which acts on behalf of Browser Based Replay users, request a session or a set of sessions for replay on the client application, Search Server queries the canisters to retrieve the sessions. Optionally, Search Server can be configured to open up the retrieved sessions and apply a pre-defined set of privacy rules to the sessions, based upon group membership of the requesting user.
In some cases, you may wish to capture data to the Canisters for long-term storage and search availability but do not wish to expose these data elements to users through replay.
- This set of privacy rules can different from the privacy rules applied through the PCA or the Windows™ pipeline.
- Privacy rules can be developed and applied for each user group to which you are applying masking on-demand.
Methods of hiding data
Tealeaf privacy supports two methods of hiding data from users: encrypting or blocking. Encryption is useful if you wish to hide data from some users and expose it to others. However, because masking on-demand can be selectively applied at the group level, there is no meaningful use for encrypting replay data. Encryption is also more expensive in terms of processing time.
