Configuring Central Authentication Service logs

You must configure logging to enable Central Authentication Service log files to be logged for the WebSphere® Application Server Liberty Core.

About this task

Use the ASBServer/wlp/usr/servers/iis/server.xml configuration file to configure logging messages for WebSphere Application Server Liberty Core. You must be a root user or must have the WebSphere Application Server monitor role. The log files are produced in the /opt/IBM/InformationServer/ASBNode/logs and /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/InfoSphere/logs/server1 folders.

      You need not restart the WebSphere Application Server Liberty Core server for the configuration changes to take effect.
  2. To set up Central Authentication Service logging for ASBAgent, complete the following steps:
    1. Stop the ASBAgent.
    2. Make a backup of the asbagent-logging.properties file.
    3. Add the following lines to the asbagent-logging.properties file: 
      com.ibm.iis.isf.agent.log.level=ALL
com.ibm.iis.cas.level=ALL
    4. Comment out the following lines, if they exist: 
      .level=FINE
      or 
      .level=INFO
      Following is an example asbagent-logging.properties file:
