Using logging.jsp for Identity Manager in Identity Suite 14.1 Virtual Appliance 

Aug 23, 2017 11:05 AM

Modify CA Identity Manager Application Log Level

CA Identity Manager shipped with the vApp supports a “logging.jsp” page allowing control of logging configurations in run-time. This page is available on the following URI:
/iam/im/logging.jsp.

By default, the logging.jsp page cannot be accessed by any user. To access the page, configure a WIldfly user as a member of the “IAMAdmin” application. By default, the application does not have any users.

You can control access to the logging.jsp page by adding a user to the “IAMAdmin” application group.

Follow these steps:

  1. Login to the command-line interface using the “config” user.
  2. Run the following command:

sudo /opt/CA/wildfly-idm/bin/add-user.sh

The following question is displayed: “What type of user do you wish to add?”

  1. Respond with “b” (Application User)
    The following question is displayed:

“Username:”

  1. Respond to the question with either of the following:
    1. Type any previously defined user to add access for an existing user
    2. Type a different username to create a new user. A user can access the logging.jsp page only if the user is a member of the “IAMAdmin” Application Group. 
    3. Respond with “IAMAdmin” to the following question:

”What groups do you want this user to belong to? (Please enter a comma separated list, or leave blank for none): ”

The following question is displayed: 

Is this new user going to be used for one AS process to connect to another AS process? e.g. for a slave host controller connecting to the master or for a Remoting connection for server to server EJB calls.

    1. Respond to the question with “n”.
      You can now access the logging.jsp page using the following URL (replace “<IDM_NODE_ADDRESS>” with the IDM server’s IP address): 

http://<IDM_NODE_ADDRESS>:8080/iam/im/logging.jsp

The content above is copied from the CA Identity Suite 14.1 Virtual Appliance topics. The logging.jsp pages are deployed with the CA Identity Manager Wildfly package and can be used once you follow the steps to set up the local Wildfly user to login to the protected resource (URL). This process is simplified in the Virtual Appliance package over the manual deployment of the .jsp files in the typical installation script deployments.

 

NOTE: Standard warnings apply to setting logging level at run-time to DEBUG as this will most likely impact application server performance and data store (disk space) consumption. You should use this feature in non-production environments as needed for detail level troubleshooting of application logic or for problem resolution.

Hi Enrique,

 

Adding an User at App Server level is also required for Workpoint Designer to work. Is it still applicable for vApp?

 

Regards,

Sumeet
