Karen Smoler Miller commented on GEODE-2153:
--------------------------------------------
Should we open an new ticket to rename the associated
{{security-post-processor}} property? It defines the implementation for the
PostProcessor interface, and its name implies that it implements something
having to do with security.

> Project: Geode
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: security
> Reporter: Jared Stewart

> I have started a server and locator using the sample RedactingPostProcessor
> implementation. I created a /customers region and inserted a Customer:
> {code}
> Region<String, Customer> region = connectToRegion("customers");
> Customer customer = new Customer(1L, "FirstName", "LastName", "123-456-7890");
> region.put("galen", customer);
> {code}
> The following query and get operation show our customer's SSN getting
> redacted as expected:
> {code}
> Customer customerFromGet = region.get("galen");
> //{ type = com.jaredjstewart.Customer, customerId = 1, firstName = FirstName,
> lastName = LastName, ssn = ********** }
> Object customerFromQuery = queryService.newQuery("select * from
> /customers").execute();
> //{ type = com.jaredjstewart.Customer, customerId = 1, firstName = FirstName,
> lastName = LastName, ssn = ********** }
> {code}
> However, it is possible to leak information by accessing the field which is
> supposed to be redacted in a where clause:
> {code}
> Object customer = queryService.newQuery("select c from /customers c
> where c.socialSecurityNumber='123-456-7890'").execute();
> //this redacts but still leaks the vital information
> {code}
> It is also possible to query the field directly:
> {code}
> Object customerSSN = queryService.newQuery("select c.socialSecurityNumber
> from /customers c").execute();
> //[123-456-7890]
> {code}
