Set this registry key to enable Windows to generate a dump file if the PasswordSync DLL displays an exception. You must set this registry key to the fully qualified directory path where you want to write the memory dump. For example: c:\temp Set the registry value to write the memory dump each time Waveset catches an exception during password processing. Note: On Windows 2000 server (any service pack), you also must install in the configured directory DbgHelp.dll, which is available from Microsoft. The minimum release version for the DbgHelp.dll file must be Version 5.1. Download the DbgHelp.dll file here: http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/DevTools/Debugging/default.mspx If DbgHelp.dll is not installed, no dump files will be generated on Windows 2000. The format for dump file names is lhpwic-YYYYMMDD-HHmm-xxxxx.dmp In this name, YYYYMMDD will be the date of the dump, HHmm is the time of the dump (24-hour clock), and xxxxx is the thread number of the application. You must manually remove dump files! Dump files range in size from 20 MB to more than 100 MB, depending on the size of the Windows Local Security Authority Subsystem (LSASS) process. Over time, systems with limited disk space could fill up if these dump files are not removed. |
