> Hi,
>
> Enhanced exception messages are designed to hide sensitive information such as hostnames, IP
> addresses from exception message strings, unless the enhanced mode for the specific category
> has been explicitly enabled. Enhanced exceptions were first introduced in 8204233 in JDK 11 and
> updated in 8207846.
>
> This PR aims to increase the coverage of enhanced exception messages in the networking code.
> A limited number of exceptions are already hidden (restricted) by default. The new categories and
> exceptions in this PR will be restricted on an opt-in basis, ie. the default mode will be enhanced
> (while preserving the existing behavior).
>
> The mechanism is controlled by the security/system property "jdk.includeInExceptions" which takes as value
> a comma separated list of category names, which identify groups of exceptions where the exception
> message may be enhanced. Any category not listed is "restricted" which means that potentially
> sensitive information (such as hostnames, IP addresses, user identities) are excluded from the message text.
>
> The changes to the java.security conf file describe the exact changes in terms of the categories now
> supported and any changes in behavior.
>
> Thanks,
> Michael
