To Run OpenSSO Enterprise in Debugging Mode

1. Open the OpenSSO Enterprise Console.

2. Click the Configuration tab.

3. Go to Sites and Servers > serverName > General, where serverName is the name of the OpenSSO Enterprise server instance you want to debug.

4. Edit the Debug Directory attribute.

5. Specify one of the following debug levels:

   Off:

   No debugging information is written to the debug files.

   Error:

   Use this level in production environments. During production, there should be no errors in the debug files.

   Warning:

   Allows Error and Warning debug messages to be written.

   Do not use the Warning level in a production environment. This setting can cause severe performance degradation due to excessive debug messages.

   Message:

   Allows detailed code tracing.

   Do not use the Message level in a production environment. This level can cause severe performance degradation due to excessive debug messages.

Debugging information is written to files in the ConfigurationDirectory/uri/debug directory. By default, debugging information for an OpenSSO enterprise service or major component is written into a file named for the service or component:

• Authentication

• CoreSystem

• amAuthContextLocal

• WebServices

• IDRepo

• Policy

• Configuration

• Session
