Report Logging Problems to the System Log

You can configure the Policy Server to log information about exceptions that can occur while preparing or executing audit logs to the Windows event log viewer. This configuration can prevent you from missing this information in a production environment where debug logs are disabled. To configure this feature, set the value of the CategoryCount registry key to 7.

The CategoryCount registry key is found in the following registry location:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Eventlog\Application
\SiteMinder

These events are logged under the event log categories ObjAuditLog and AccessAuditLog.

CA SiteMinder® calls object events when objects are created, updated, or deleted. Any exceptions that occur while preparing/executing CA SiteMinder® obj audit logs are logged to Windows event viewer under the 'ObjAuditLog' category.

Access events result from user-related activities and are called in the context of authentication, authorization, administration, and affiliate activity. Any exceptions that occur while preparing/executing CA SiteMinder® access audit logs are logged to Windows event viewer under the 'AccessAuditLog' category.
