Setting CoS Logging

Directory Server logs warning messages when it is forced to make an arbitrary distinction among multiple applicable definition entries. Such warning messages takes this form:

Definition /defDN1/ and definition /defDN2/ compete to provide attribute
 '/type/' at priority /level/

You can also configure Directory Server to log informational messages when the server is forced to make an arbitrary distinction among multiple, potentially applicable definition entries. To do so, set the error log to include messages from plug-ins.

Because setting additional log levels can result in a heavy logging load, you might not want to set logging on a production server.

The content of informational messages takes the following form:

Definition /defDN1/ and definition /defDN2/ potentially compete 
to provide attribute '/type/' at priority /level/

You can then choose whether to resolve such cases of CoS ambiguity by setting CoS priorities appropriately on the definition entries.
