The Orbix security platform integrates with the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) enterprise security infrastructure by using an LDAP adapter.

This article described how to configure the Orbix LDAP adapter's logging properties.

Orbix 6.3.x

All supported platforms.

The Orbix LDAP adapter's configuration settings can be found in the iS2 properties file:

<Orbix Home>/etc/domains/<Domain Name>/is2.properties

However, the LDAP adapter's logging is handled by Log4J. The location of the Log4J properties file can be configured in one of two ways:

- Security Classpath
- System Properties

The environment variable "SECURITY_CLASSPATH" can be set in the Orbix configuration settings. This can be modified to contain the location of the Log4J properties file.

Alternatively, the system properties list can also contain the location of the Log4J properties file. This is done by setting the "com.iona.common.log4j.Log4Utils.filename" property in the "plugins:java_server:system_properties" list in the security service's configuration.

Once the location of the Log4J properties file is set, the file itself can be configured. For example, to turn off logging completely, the following entry should be set:

 log4j.rootCategory=OFF, A1

For more information on Log4J settings, please see the Log4J configuration documentation here (External site).
