IsMaskingEnabled from July 2021 Update causing failures if NLog not setup and/or enableMasking undocumented variable not present

Your code doesn't indicate you have to setup NLog anywhere.

When it's not setup the entire nuget fails to load anything. It seems you have to not only setup NLog now, you also have to add a magic undocumented variable (had to search the source code to find it) called "enableMasking" and set it to true or false because your code doesn't do existence checking.

Stack trace when all undocumented variables and NLog setup not performed:

at AuthenticationSdk.util.LogUtility.IsMaskingEnabled(Logger logger)

Another NLog issue to be aware of is this:

AuthenticationSdk.util.LogUtility expects "file" target to be set in NLog
if FileTarget "file" is not set the AuthenticationSDK will disable logging
which will disable logging for our entire application, not just cybersource

This is our workaround:

            if (!NLog.LogManager.Configuration.AllTargets.Any((t) => string.Equals(t.Name,"file")))
            {
                var fileTarget = new NLog.Targets.FileTarget("file") { FileName = "file.log" };
                NLog.LogManager.Configuration.AddTarget("file", fileTarget);
            }

That's crazy, didn't know that. Definitely shouldn't be expected behavior.

NLog.LogManager.Configuration.Variables.Add("enableMasking", new NLog.Layouts.SimpleLayout("true"));
