Mapping the Properties Configuration

Directory Proxy Server 6.0 maintains an errors log file, an access log file, and administrative alerts.

The errors log and administrative alerts are equivalent to the version 5 system log. Administrative alerts are events raised by Directory Proxy Server. These events can be sent to the syslog daemon or to an administrator through email.

The Directory Proxy Server 6.0 access log is equivalent to the version 5 audit log.

Logs in version 5 were configured by using the ids-proxy-sch-LogProperty object class. Logs in Directory Proxy Server 6.0 are configured by setting properties for the access and error log, using the dpconf command. For example, to set properties for the access log, use the following command:

$ dpconf set-access-log-prop PROPERTY:VALUE

Directory Proxy Server 6.0 provides new log features, such as log file rotation, and enables log configuration to be fine tuned. For example, one log level can be set per message category.

In Iplanet Directory Access Router 5.0 (IDAR) log configuration attributes are stored under ids-proxy-con-Config-Name=name,ou=global,ou=pd2,ou=iDAR,o=services. In Directory Proxy Server 5.2, log configuration attributes are stored under ids-proxy-con-Config-Name=user-defined-name,ou=system,ou=dar-config,o=netscaperoot.

It is not really possible to map the log configuration between Directory Proxy Server 5 and Directory Proxy Server 6.0 because the logging models between these two versions are very different. The Directory Proxy Server 5 log model combines what is logged with where it is logged. In Directory Proxy Server 6.0, the model is cleaner. One set of properties describes what is logged, and a separate set of properties describes where log messages are sent.

The following table lists the attributes of the ids-proxy-sch-LogProperty object class and describes at a high level how the corresponding functionality is achieved in Directory Proxy Server 6.0.

TABLE 6–17Version 5 and Version 6 Log Functionality

	Directory Proxy Server 5 Attribute		Purpose	Directory Proxy Server 6.0 Equivalent
	ids-proxy-con-log-level		Level of logging	Global log level
	ids-proxy-con-stat-level		Kinds of statistics logged	Monitoring data
	ids-proxy-con-log-syslog		Syslog facility code	syslog output for administrative alerts
				No equivalent for error messages
	ids-proxy-con-log-file		Path to log file	log-file-name of the error-log object
