+Spring Boot uses sensible defaults for such keys: any key ending with the word "password", "secret", "key", "token", "vcap_services", "sun.java.command" is entirely sanitized.
+Additionally, any key that holds the word `credentials` as part of the key is sanitized (configured as a regular expression, i.e. `+*credentials.*+`).
 
-If any of the keys to sanitize are URI format (i.e. `<scheme>://<username>:<password>@<host>:<port>/`), only the password part is sanitized.
+Furthermore, Spring Boot only sanitizes the sensitive portion of URIs for keys which end with "uri", "uris", "address", or "addresses".
+The sensitive portion of the URI is identified using the format `<scheme>://<username>:<password>@<host>:<port>/`.
+For example, for the property `myclient.uri=http://user1:password1@localhost:8081`, the resulting sanitized value is
+`++http://user1:******@localhost:8081++`.
