Policy Server Can Now Log Exceptions to Windows Event Viewer (41821, 41363)

The Policy Server has been enhanced to make sure that any exceptions occurring during audit logging are now recorded to the Windows Event Viewer, which is in addition to the SiteMinder logs.

Be aware of the following:

• Events are logged under the ObjAuditLog and AccessAuditLog categories.
• Any exceptions occurring in audit logging due to object management are recorded under the ObjAuditLog category.
• Any exceptions occurring in audit logging due to user-related activities such as authentication, authorization, administration, and affiliate activity are recorded under the AccessAuditLog category.

To enable Policy Server logging to the Windows Event Viewer

1. Open the Windows Registry Editor.
2. Go to:

   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Eventlog\Application\SiteMinder.
   

3. Change the CategoryCount registry key to 7.
