Log More Audit Data to a Text File

By default, the Policy Server logs less audit data to a text file than to an ODBC database. You can log more audit data to a text file than the default and bring the amount of data in line with an ODBC database. To do so, manually add the following registry key and set its value to one: "Enable Enhance Tracing". To disable "Enable Enhance Tracing", set its value to zero (the default).

To log more audit data to a text file

1. Manually add the registry key "Enable Enhance Tracing":

   Windows

   Add the following key:

   TYPE=DWORD
   \netegrity\SiteMinder\CurrentVersion\Reports
   \"Enable Enhance Tracing"
   

   Solaris

   Follow these steps:

   1. Open the file: .../siteminder/registry/sm.registry.
   2. Locate the line:

      HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Netegrity\SiteMinder
      \CurrentVersion\Reports=25089
      

   3. Below the line, add the following:

      "Enable Enhance Tracing"=0x1;	REG_DWORD
      

   4. Save and close the file.
2. Set "Enable Enhance Tracing" to one.

Note: The value of "Enable Enhance Tracing" does not affect logging of Entitlement Management Services (EMS) events.
