Additional Notes

• The "Show Web Inspector" option will not be available until the user browses beyond Safari's home page.
• All credentials and session cookies within a HAR file should be removed before sharing with Carbon Black
  • The HAR file is a text file, it can be opened in a text editor and searched for the SESSION cookie value and replaced with <REDACTED>
  • This can also be done for passwords and API tokens if they were part of the recording
  • It's also recommended to logout from the Carbon Black session after recording a HAR session. This is a precaution that should invalidate session IDs if any were missed.
• HAR Files under 25 MB can be attached directly to a Carbon Black Technical Support case. 
• Files larger than 25 MB should be uploaded to CB Vault.
