The LoggerConfig.properties file lets you enable logging so the Federation Web Services application can record assertion retrieval, session management, notification alert information, and trace messages related to Federation Web Services.
The log file may show activity at the producing authority and the consuming authority, depending on how your site is configured.
The installed location of the LoggerConfig.properties file is:
web_agent_home/affwebservices/WEB-INF/classes
sps_home/secure-proxy/Tomcat/webapps/affwebservices/WEB-INF/classes
Indicates the installed location of the Web Agent
Indicates the installed location of the Secure Proxy Server
Modify the settings as needed. If a value is not specified, the default value for the default locale is used.
The following table shows the settings in the LoggerConfig.properties file.

Description |

EnableDNSLookup |
Instructs the FWS application whether or not to do a DNS or reverse DNS lookup when processing an incoming SAML request at the consuming site. Select Y or N.
