Debugging

To enable debug logging, which includes the LDAP realm, edit the service log4j2 configuration file at /app/ui/MonTier-UI/lib/log4j2.xml or /app/appadmin/MonTier-AppAdmin/lib/log4j2.xml.

Change the "org.montier" logger to level="debug" as describe below:

<Logger name="org.montier" level="debug" additivity="false">
	<AppenderRef ref="MONTIER"/>
	<AppenderRef ref="CATALINA"/>
</Logger>

To enable trace logging of custom roles, edit the UI service log4j configuration file : at /app/ui/MonTier-UI/lib/log4j2.xml.

Change the "MNTR_CUSTOM_ROLES" logger to level="trace" as describe below:

The output log file will be created in the UI service log directory: /logs/ui with the name ldapLog.log
