Environment

Advanced Authentication Framework
AAF 5.2
AAF 5.2 Workstation Client

Situation

How to enable logging for the AAF Windows Client

Resolution

1. Create a text file C:\ProgramData\NetIQ\Logging\config.properties
2. Add the string to the
config.properties file: logEnabled=True which ends with a line break (enter)
3. Create the directory: C:\ProgramData\NetIQ\Logging\Logs\
4. Restart the workstation
5. Reproduce the problem. Logs will be located in C:\ProgramData\NetIQ\Logging\Logs\


NOTE:  Make sure the config.properties file ends with the extension ".properties."   Depending on how the file is created, it could be created by default with a .txt extension.  A file named "
config.properties.txt" will not generate logs.
