Java properties files

Java™ properties files are ASCII files that are used to customize event logs for Java based Verify Identity Access servers, daemons, and other Java-language programs and applications. Beyond customizing logs, these properties files are used to configure other aspects of the application.

The contents of the properties file enables the user to control the following aspects of message logs:
  • Whether event logs are enabled
  • Where to direct the output
  • If the output is to a file, the number of files to use and the size of each file

Lines in the file that start with a number sign (#) are comments and do not affect logging.

The application name (app_name) is part of each logging property for a Java application. The application name is specified when you use the com.tivoli.pd.jcfg.SvrSslCfg command.
