Log File Location

The file-based logging function needs a location where log files can be stored. . The default location is:

OpenSSO-deploy-base/uri/log

OpenSSO-deploy-base/uri/logare tags representing the base configuration directory and the OpenSSO Enterprise deployment URI. each specified during post-installation configuration. At runtime, the logging service determines the instance's proper directory for logging. This attribute's value can be set to an explicit path , but the base path should be its configuration directory (the value of OpenSSO-deploy-base) to avoid permissions problems.

If a non-default directory is specified, OpenSSO Enterprise will create the directory if it does not exist. You should then set the appropriate permissions for that directory (for example, 0700).

When configuring the log location for DB (database) logging (such as, Oracle or MySQL), part of the log location is case sensitive. For example, if you are logging to an Oracle database, the log location should be (note case sensitivity):

jdbc:oracle:thin:@machine.domain:port:DBName

To configure logging to DB, add the JDBC driver files to the web container's JVM classpath. You need to manually add JDBC driver files to the classpath of the ssoadm script, otherwise ssoadm logging can not load the JDBC driver.

Changes to logging attributes usually take effect after you save them. This does not require you to restart the server. If you are changing to secure logging, however, you should restart the server.
