Debug flags for IBM JGSS component

Question & Answer


Question

How can I debug JGSS/Kerberos problems in IBM JVM?

Answer

The IBM JGSS component is a Programming Interface framework which uses Kerberos v5 as the underlying default security mechanism.

The IBM JGSS component provides two debug flags to troubleshoot Kerberos problems:

com.ibm.security.jgss.debug

This property can be set to all to enable the JGSS debug control messages.

com.ibm.security.krb5.Krb5Debug

This property can be set to all to enable Kerberos 5 debug messages.


Example:

java -Dcom.ibm.security.jgss.debug=all -Dcom.ibm.security.krb5.Krb5Debug=all JavaApp
