Changing Server Startup Logging Parameters

If you want to change the logging parameters that you see when AuthMinder Server starts up, then:

  1. Navigate to the conf directory in ARCOT_HOME.
  2. Open arcotcommon.ini in a text editor of your choice.
  3. Add the following section at the end of the file: 
    [arcot/webfort/startup]
LogFile=
LogFileSize=10485760
BackupLogFileDir=
LogLevel=
LogTimeGMT=0

    The following table explains these parameters:
