New Registry Entry to Fix Audit Logging Exceptions (39991, 39307)

On Windows, the Policy Server has been enhanced to remove errors caused by audit logging exceptions. This enhancement includes a new ConnectionHangwaitTime registry entry that you can set to avoid audit logging exceptions. The minimum setting for this value is 30 seconds. If you set this value to less than 30 seconds, the Policy Server ignores this value and uses the minimum value of 30 seconds.

The new registry entry is located:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Netegrity\SiteMinder\CurrentVersion\Database\ConnectionHangwaitTime

In addition, to avoid the audit logging exception, the following registry variables need to be tuned at the following location:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Netegrity\SiteMinder\CurrentVersion\Database
QueryTimeout

Suggested tuning is 30 seconds

Default: 15 seconds

LoginTimeout

Suggested tuning is 30 seconds

Default: 15 seconds

ConnectionHangwaitTime

Suggested tuning is 60 seconds

Default: 30 seconds

Note: This tuning is done to avoid any audit data loss; however, this tuning may lead to some performance issues. To improve performance, you can configure audit logging in a text file instead of a database.
