Built-in troubleshooting features
IBM® Security Verify Directory contains several tools in addition to the operating system tools to help you determine the source of problems you encounter.
- Core file generation
- Core files, generated by the operating system, collect the contents
of a program's memory space at the time the program ended. A core
file helps IBM Software Support
diagnose your problem.
You must ensure that core file generation is enabled in order for core file information to be generated. For more information about core files and for instructions for enabling core file generation, see Core file generation.
- Error logs
- Error logs record error messages that occur during directory server processing. IBM Security Verify Directory detects and saves these errors in a text file. For more information, see Utilities for logging.
- Server audit logs
- Server audit logs record suspicious patterns of activity to detect security violations. If security is violated, the Server audit log can be used to determine how and when the problem occurred. IBM Security Verify Directory detects and saves these errors in a text file. For more information, see Utilities for logging.
