Locating the security server log files on your system
Lawson Security generates log files on both the security server and the servlet container.
Security server events versus servlet container events
The log file on the security server contains messages related to the security server, for example, a message that results from an actions performed using the Lawson Security Administrator.
The log file on the servlet container logs messages related to the runtime, for example, a messages that results from an unsuccessful transaction attempt with a Lawson application.
Default log file names and locations
By default, a security server log file is created on both the security server and on the servlet container in the location:
On the security server, the name and location of the log file is:
LAWDIR/system/lase_server_0.log
where "0" is the number of the JVM that created the file.
On the servlet container, the name and location of the log file is:
LAWDIR/system/lase_server_1.log
where "1" is the number of the JVM that created the file.
Servlet container log file name and location if logdir JVM property is used
You can customize the output directory for security log files generated by the servlet container. Customizing this location enables users who do not have access to LAWDIR/system (a location often restricted to the special user "lawson") to view security log files. Customizing might be beneficial in a situation where, for example, SOX compliance requires tight permissions on the LAWDIR/system directory. However, many Lawson customers will find it useful to retain the default location of log files. In this situation, do not perform the configuration described in this section
To customize log file location: After the service pack has been installed, add the Lawson-delivered JVM property, com.lawson.logdir to the Lawson environment variables section of the JVM. (For configuration details, consult your WebSphere documentation.)
When com.lawson.logdir has been configured, your location for log files generated on the servlet container will be different. In addition, all log files, whether they are generated on the security server or the servlet container will have the name lase_server_0.log.
The following explains where log files will be located after the logdir JVM property has been configured.
| Type of log file | Location |
|---|---|
| Security server log file: Logs security events |
On servlet container: On the machine where Lawson Core Technology (LCT) is
installed: |
| SSO log file: Logs single sign-on log-in events and exists only if you have implemented tracing |
On servlet container: On the machine where Lawson Core Technology (LCT) is
