SiteMinder Agent Log File

This logging function enables you to monitor the performance of a particular SiteMinder Agent module instance. You can configure the Agent instance to log messages to a file, but not to a Command Prompt window.

Set up SiteMinder Agent logging either:

• Locally, in a SiteMinder Agent module Agent configuration file.
• Centrally, using the Agent Configuration Object in the SiteMinder Administrative UI.

In a complex environment, you could have several SiteMinder Agent instances installed on the same computer for multiple WebSphere instances that are all logging separately and sharing the same connection to the Policy Server while logging to the same default SiteMinder Agent log file.

Note: Settings in the local Agent configuration file take precedence over the log settings in the Agent Configuration Object from the Administrative UI.
