To Enable Trace from the System Settings Page

The System Settings page is the primary Identity Manager Debug page.

From this page, you can

• View and edit objects in the repository

• Clear caches

• Set specialized traces

• Reload the Waveset.properties file

Use the following steps to enable tracing from the Identity Manager System Settings page:

1. Open a browser and log in to the Identity Manager Administrative interface.

2. Type the following URL:

   http://hostport/idm/debug

   where:

   • host is the local server on which you are running Identity Manager.

   • port is the number of the TCP port on which the server is listening.

3. When the System Settings page displays, click Show Trace (located near the bottom of the page) to manage a single trace configuration, where you can create, modify, or delete up to ten trace settings.

   Note –

   The remaining instructions assume you have only one trace configuration.

   To manage multiple trace configurations, click the Show Trace List button instead. When the Trace Configuration page displays, click the configuration name to edit the current settings.

   Identity Manager supplies one configuration, called Global, by default. However, if you have multiple servers in an Identity Manager instance, defining different configurations for particular servers might be useful. If the name of a trace configuration matches the name of the current host, the host configuration overrides the Global configuration.
