7.7 Validating Run-time Event Logging Configuration

You can use the following procedure to test your run-time event logging configuration.

Before you begin:

• Configure logging using WLST commands

• Ensure the Agents and Servers are running.

• Configure an Application Domain to protect the resource as described in Managing Policies to Protect Resources and Enable SSO.

To validate run-time event logging configuration:

1. In a browser, enter the URL to a protected resource and sign in using an invalid credential.
2. Sign in again using the proper credential.
3. On the physical server, verify all the logs appear in:

   $DOMAIN_HOME/oamlogs/
   $DOMAIN_HOME/ostslogs/SERVER-NAME-diagnostics.log
   $DOMAIN_HOME/oiflogs/SERVER-NAME-diagnostics.log
   

4. Open the log file and look for the last entries to confirm authentication failure and success, respectively.
