Override the Local Time Setting for the Policy Server Log

The Policy Server log file, install_dir/siteminder/log/smps.log, displays time in local timezone as identified by the operating system of the machine on which the Policy Server is installed.

To display the time in this log file in GMT time:

  1. Locate the following registry setting: 
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Netegrity\SiteMinder\
CurrentVersion\LogConfig\LogLocalTime
  2. Change the value from 1 (which is the default) to 0.
