Mirror ODBC Audit Log Content in Text-based Audit Logs on Windows

When the SiteMinder audit logs are stored as text files, they include a partial list of the available fields by default. If you want the text files that contain your audit logs to include all of the available fields, like an ODBC Audit database does, you can add a registry key to your Policy Server.

To mirror ODBC Audit log content in text-based audit logs

1. Open the registry editor.
2. Expand the following location:

   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Netegrity\SiteMinder\CurrentVersion\Reports\
   

3. Create a new DWORD value with the following name:

   Enable Enhance Tracing
   

4. Set the Value to 1. If you want to disable this setting in the future, change the value back to 0.
5. Restart your Policy Server.

   The ODBC Audit log content will appear in your text-based audit logs.
