Record the User Name and Transaction ID in IIS 6.0 Server Logs

Web Agents protecting resources on IIS 6.0 servers do not record the SiteMinder transaction ID and authenticated user name in the IIS server logs by default. Because these Web Agents function as ISAPI extensions, the server would have have already logged a transaction. You can force the Web Agent to add this information with the following parameters:

• AppendIISServerLog

  Instructs the Web Agent to add the authenticated user name and SiteMinder transaction ID to the IIS server log on a separate line.

  Default: No

• SetRemoteUser

  Specifies a value for the REMOTE_USER variable that some legacy applications may require.

  Default: No

To record the transaction ID and user name in the IIS server log

1. Set the value of the AppendIISServerLog parameter to yes.
2. Set the value of the SetRemoteUser parameter to yes.

   The IIS server logs will contain the user name and transaction ID.
