Enable Console Logging

After you enable the Windows service to interact with the desktop, you can enable the setting for console logging.

To display log messages in a console window

1. In the AffiliateConfig.xml file, set the LogToConsole attribute to Yes. For example:

   LogToConsole="yes"

   Note: This parameter is not supported for SAML Affiliate Agents configured with IIS 6.0 and Apache 1.x web servers. When used with these web servers, the Affiliate Server and the SAML Affiliate Agent both use a single log file. The logfilename directive specifies the location of the log file.

2. Restart the Web server.

   When the Web server restarts, the command prompt window opens and the SAML Affiliate Agent starts logging information in the window.

To stop displaying messages in the console window, set LogToConsole to no.
