Thank you for your post MS Q&A!
Example Special Characters: Active Directory inserts tokens that are used for authentication. These tokens can contain special characters that may trigger a false positive from the WAF rules. WAF exclusion lists allow you to omit certain request attributes from a WAF evaluation.
