Reverse Proxy Tracing in WebSEAL
Overview
Sometimes, particularly for development environments, you may want to have certain WebSEAL reverse proxy logging turned on all the time. Unfortunately, if you restart the proxy, it turns off any logging you may have had turned on. So how do we consistently enable it?
Editing WebSEAL Configuration file
For the reverse proxy instance we want to enable the trace on, open the configuration file. In the configuration file, find the below stanza and add the below values. This will turn on pdweb.debug for that instance and rollover 9 files.
[anzapi-configuration] trace = pdweb.debug 9 logcfg = trace.pdweb.debug+9:file path = trace__pdweb.debug.log stats = pdweb.sescache 60 logcfg = stats.pdweb.sescache:file path=pdweb.sescache.log,rollover_size=1000000,max_rollover_files=3
