Sun OpenSSO Enterprise 8.0 Developer's Guide

Implementing Remote Logging

Logging to a Second OpenSSO Enterprise Server Instance

An OpenSSO Enterprise server instance can use the Logging Service of another OpenSSO Enterprise server instance, if both instances are configured as part of the same site. The remote OpenSSO Enterprise server sets its Logging Service URL in the Administration Console (Configuration > System > Naming) to the target OpenSSO Enterprise server instances's Logging Service, by changing the attribute's protocol, host, port, and uri values, accordingly. For example:

https://ssohost2.example.com:58080/opensso/loggingservice


Note –

Reading log records remotely from another server or from a client program using the client SDK is not supported.


Logging to OpenSSO Enterprise Server From a Remote Client

A remote client can use the OpenSSO Enterprise client SDK to log to an OpenSSO Enterprise server. In order for the remote client to log to the target OpenSSO Enterprise server, the entity making the logging request must have Log Writing permission on the target OpenSSO Enterprise server. For information, see Running the Command-Line Logging Sample (LogSample.java).
