Sun Microsystems 8190994 - Manual (Page 102)

Directory Proxy Server 6.0 maintains an errors log file, an access log file, and administrative
alerts.
The errors log and administrative alerts are equivalent to the version 5 system log.
Administrative alerts are events raised by Directory Proxy Server. These events can be sent to
the syslog daemon or to an administrator through email.
The Directory Proxy Server 6.0 access log is equivalent to the version 5 audit log.
Logs in version 5 were configured by using the ids-proxy-sch-LogProperty object class. Logs
in Directory Proxy Server 6.0 are configured by setting properties for the access and error log,
using the dpconf command. For example, to set properties for the access log, use the following
command:
$ dpconf set-access-log-prop PROPERTY:VALUE
Directory Proxy Server 6.0 provides new log features, such as log file rotation, and enables log
configuration to be fine tuned. For example, one log level can be set per message category.
In Iplanet Directory Access Router 5.0 (IDAR) log configuration attributes are stored under
ids-proxy-con-Config-Name=
name,ou=global,ou=pd2,ou=iDAR,o=services. In Directory
Proxy Server 5.2, log configuration attributes are stored under
ids-proxy-con-Config-Name=
user-defined-name,ou=system,ou=dar-config,o=netscaperoot.
It is not really possible to map the log configuration between Directory Proxy Server 5 and
Directory Proxy Server 6.0 because the logging models between these two versions are very
different. The Directory Proxy Server 5 log model combines what is logged with where it is
logged. In Directory Proxy Server 6.0, the model is cleaner. One set of properties describes what
is logged, and a separate set of properties describes where log messages are sent.
The following table lists the attributes of the ids-proxy-sch-LogProperty object class and
describes at a high level how the corresponding functionality is achieved in Directory Proxy
Server 6.0.
