Open a Log File

To allow a CA Directory DSA to log information, you must open the relevant log file. The DSA writes output to that file.

If a log file does not exist when opened, it is created. If it already exists, the DSA appends new output to the existing output in the file.

If the log file name contains the string $S, then the system substitutes the name of the DSA.

To open a log file, use the following command:

set log-type = log-name;
