Configure Logging for a Connector

Each endpoint type has a configuration file that defines its logging. You can configure the logging for a particular connector by sending LDAP commands to CA IAM CS.

The endpoint log files contain most of the logging data for the relevant connector. However, also look for relevant logging in the jcs_daily.log* systemwide log file. Messages can be logged to the systemwide file for the following reasons:

• A connector uses third-party libraries.
• A connector was developed (using Connector Xpress or the SDK) without sufficient attention to logging.
• Problems occur while creating or activating a connector.

Follow these steps:

1. With an LDAP client, bind to CA IAM CS using the following details:
   • Port: 20410 (LDAP) or 20411 (LDAPS)
   • User: cn=root,dc=etasa
   • Password: Use the password that was specified during installation
2. Find the entry with the following DN:

   eTDYNDirectoryName=${CONN},eTNamespaceName=${CONN_TYPE},dc=${DOMAIN},dc=etasa
   

   You can enable and configure logging by changing the attributes of this entry.

3. To enable logging for a connector, modify the following attribute:
   • eTLog=1 (active)
4. To configure the logging level for a connector, include the following attributes:
   • eTLogDestination='F' (file)
   • eTLogFileSeverity=severity-code

     Use the following severity codes:
