The General Logging page displays the location of the files that Access Manager Appliance components use for logging system messages. There are some exceptions:
Default Auditing File: If you have configured Novell Audit to send events to the default audit file (/var/opt/novell/naudit/logs/auditlog), this file does not appear in the list.
If you want this file to appear in this list , you must make this file readable by the novlwww user. It is a breach of Novell Audit security for Access Manager code to change the permissions on this file. You must decide whether changing its permissions and displaying the file in this list compromises your security.
To add this file in the list of files for Administration Console, configure the following:
Use commands similar to the following to grant the novlwww user executable permissions to the naudit directories:
chmod o+rx /var/opt/novell/naudit
chmod o+rx /var/opt/novell/naudit/logs
Use a command similar to the following to grant the novlwww user read access to the auditlog file:
chmod o+r /var/opt/novell/naudit/logs/auditlog
Proxy Service Log Files: If you enable proxy service logging, these files are not available for downloading from this page because there could be potentially hundreds of these files. If this type of logging has been enabled, the directory where they are located is displayed. For more information about this type of logging, see Section 22.4.2, Configuring Logging for a Proxy Service.
