The following sensitive data is now blanked out that was not blanked out before:
In the HTTP operation logging:
- "Create SSO Server Definition" operation:
- `client-secret` request field - OIDC client secret for the SSO server
In the API call logging:
- SSOServerDefinitionManager.create():
- `client-secret` property - OIDC client secret for the SSO server
Note that the support for SSO server definitions is new and has not yet
been released. So this is not an externally documented fix.
Details:
* Changed the approach for blanking out sensitive properties in logs for
API calls and return values: Instead of using the blanked_properties
argument of the logged_api_call decorator to point to specific properties,
the blanking out is now done when the string representation of the
argument or return value has been created, by matching certain
property names using a regexp in the repr() string of the arguments or
return values.
The blanked_properties argument in the logged_api_call decorator still
exists in case it is needed in the future for additional properties, but
it is not currently used.
* Changed the approach for blanking out sensitive properties in logs for
HTTP requests and responses: Instead of checking for a set of specific
sensitive property names in the dict representation of the request and
response bodies, the sensitive properties are now detected by matching
certain property names using a regexp in the JSON string of the body.
* In the test_logging.py unit test module, changed the use of .msg for
accessing the expanded log message to using .getMessage(). It is not
clear why that worked before, but getMessage() is the official way to
get at the expanded log message.
* Improved performance in _log_http_request() and _log_http_response()
by not executing the code when debug logging is disabled.

Does not need to be rolled back to 1.25 because the only newly blanked-out property is
client-secretinSSOServerDefinitionwhich has not yet been released.
