Remote Logging

OpenSSO Enterprise supports remote logging. This allows a remote client application using the OpenSSO client SDK, or another OpenSSO Enterprise server (in the same Site) to use an OpenSSO Enterprise server's Logging Services.

Remote Client Logging

A remote client using the OpenSSO Enterprise client SDK may log to an OpenSSO Enterprise server. For example, the OpenSSO Enterprise client sdk samples refer to the samples/sdk/resources/AMConfig.properties set up by the samples/sdk/scripts/setup.sh script. In particular, the com.iplanet.am.naming.url property's value points to the target OpenSSO Enterprise server's Naming service, which provides the location of the Logging Service. In order for the remote client to successfully log to the target OpenSSO Enterprise server, the entity making the logging request must have Log Writing permission on the target OpenSSO Enterprise server.

Remote OpenSSO Enterprise Server Logging

Another OpenSSO Enterprise server may use an OpenSSO Enterprise server's Logging Services if both are in 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's Logging Service, by changing the attribute's protocol, host, port, and uri values accordingly. Logginservice does not usually need to be changed.
