Issue

  • A search in Control Panel > Security > Audit always sends empty search parameters in the GET URL. As a result, URLs are very long and can be blocked by firewall-infrastructure.

  • Steps to reproduce:

    1. Navigate to Control Panel > Security > Audit
    2. Search for "test"

  • Result: URL is very long and contains all the empty search parameters as well (which are hidden when the search is not expanded).

Environment

  • Liferay DXP 7.4

Resolution

  • This behavior is not considered a bug, it is resulting from a classic form based search with several fields.
  • There is no out of the box setting to change it.
  • It is possible to implement a customization. The relevant code part can be found here and the simplest way can be to change the form's method from GET to POST. With this change, the search parameters won't appear in the URL but they will be there in the body.
