Overview of diagnosing NSS server problems
The NSS server provides network security services for
one or more network security enforcement points. A component that
requests network security services from the network security services
server is called a network security client or NSS client. Problems
with the network security services server may be categorized as follows:
- Network security services server configuration problems
- Network security services server internal problems
- Network security services server problems interacting with an external component such as a network security client or the Secure Access Facility (SAF).
The NSS server provides log output using syslogd and internal trace information using component trace (CTRACE). The log output is sufficient for diagnosing most network security services server problems and is the first place to look if you suspect a problem.
