Proxy Server Web Agent Trace Logging

The proxy engine has an embedded Web Agent. You can monitor Web Agent run time activities by enabling tracing in the Agent LocalConfig.conf file.

To enable Web Agent tracing

1. Navigate to the following directory:

   /federation_mgr_home/secure-proxy/proxy-engine/conf/defaultagent

2. Make a backup copy of the LocalConfig.conf file.
3. Edit the LocalConfig.conf file by replacing the entire contents of the file with the following text:

   LogFileName="federation_mgr_home\secure-proxy\Federation\log\WALog.log"

   LogFile="YES"

   TraceConfigFile="federation_mgr_home\secure-proxy\proxy-engine\conf\defaultagent\SecureProxyTrace.conf"

   TraceFileName="federation_mgr_home\logs\server\WATrace.log"

   TraceFile="YES"

   Note: Change the back slash character to a forward slash (/) in the paths if Federation Manager is installed on a Solaris operating environment.

4. Save and close the LocalConfig.conf file.
5. Open the WebAgent.conf file.
6. Remove the pound sign (#) to uncomment the localconfigfile line.
7. Save and close the WebAgent.conf file.
8. Restart the Federation Manager services, according to your operating environment.
   • Windows

     Use the Federation Manager stop and start shortcuts as follows:

     1. Start, All Programs, CA, FederationManager, Stop services
     2. Start, All Programs, CA, FederationManager, Start services
   • Solaris

     a. Open a command window.

     b. Run the following scripts:

     federation_mgr_home/fedmanager.sh stop

     federation_mgr_home/fedmanager.sh start

     When you run the fedmanager.sh script, it sources the Federation Manager environment script, ca_federation_env.ksh.

     Note: Do not stop and start the services as the root user. You must be a non-root user.

Web Agent tracing is now set.
