Adding and Removing Log Application Containers

Application containers provide a reference point through which the logging server can locate Application objects. At startup, the logging server scans its list of Application containers and loads the included Application object configurations in memory where it can quickly access the information when authenticating applications.

The logging server only loads Application objects found in supported Application containers. Therefore, all Application containers must be included in this list in order for the logging server to locate their associated Application objects.

The Application container in Logging Services is added to this list by default.

IMPORTANT: The logging server scans Application containers only at startup. Therefore, if you add or remove an Application container, you must restart the logging server for the change to take effect. For more information on restarting the logging server, refer to the Novell® Audit Administration Guide.

 

Adding an Application Container

IMPORTANT: Application containers cannot be created from the Logging Server Options task. Container objects can only be created from the Object view. For information on creating Container objects, see the iManager online help.

To add an Application container to the logging server's list of supported Application containers:

  1. On the Logging Server Options page, click the Log Applications tab.

  2. Click Container Actions, then select Add Container.

  3. Select an Application container from the tree.

    To move up or down in the tree, click the navigation arrows. You can also search the tree by entering the object name and context in the Search frame.

    NOTE: iManager only links valid entries.

The Application container is added to the list of supported containers.

 

Removing an Application Container

IMPORTANT: Removing an Application container from this list does not delete the Application container or any of its associated objects from the tree. For information on deleting Container objects from the tree, see the iManager online help.

To remove an Application container from the logging server's list of supported Application containers:

  1. On the Logging Server Options page, click the Log Applications tab.

  2. Select the check box next to the Application container you want to remove.

  3. Click Container Actions, then select Remove Container.

The Application container is removed from the list of supported containers.
