Add Logs for Tokens¶

Entries in the <IS_HOME>/repository/conf/security/identity_log_tokens.properties file can determine whether tokens are added to system logs or not. By default, these are enabled in the file. The following are the entries in this file that represent different types of tokens. The tokens can be disabled from appearing in the logs by setting each token to false .

UserClaims=true
UserIdToken=true
XACML_Request=true
XACML_Response=true
NTLM_Token=true
SAML_Assertion=true
SAML_Request=true
AccessToken=true
RefreshToken=true
AuthorizationCode=true

In addition to this, you need to ensure that the logs in the <IS_HOME>/repository/conf/log4j2.properties file are enabled as well. To do this, follow the instructions given below.

Change log level from INFO to DEBUG in the org.wso2.carbon.identity logger as follows.

logger.org-wso2-carbon-identity.name=org.wso2.carbon.identity
logger.org-wso2-carbon-identity.level=DEBUG

In order to log the tokens defined in the identity_log_tokens.properties file, you need to add the Read_Log_Token_Properties system property. This can be done either by starting MWARE IAM with the system property or by adding the parameter to JAVA_OPTS as an environment variable.

To start the server and pass the parameter, navigate to the <IS_HOME>/bin folder in the command line and run the following command.

Startup command

sh wso2server.sh -DRead_Log_Token_Properties=true

To add the parameter to the environment variable, use the following command and then start the server.

Exporting to the Java environment variable

export JAVA_OPTS=-DRead_Log_Token_Properties=true
