How-To change path of the log-files

Step 1 - Create new folders

In the first step you have to create a new folder, where you want to safe your log-files. Choose it where ever you want. Give this folder a name which makes sense. In this case we created a new folder on the drive “D:\” an named it “itsense”. In this folder you have to create another one which is named exactly like this: AuthenticationService_900000. Now you have to create another new folder in the AuthenticationService_900000 folder, this one you must name like this: logs.

Step 2 - Change the configuration of the web.config file

Open the Server, where the CoreOne Suite Authentication Service is running on. Navigate to the path: C:\ProgramData\itsense\AuthenticationService_900000. Now open the “Web.config” file in Notepad, Notepad++ or an other text edit program. In this file you have to change the path for the log-files. The new path must be exactly the same as you created in step one.

Change the path which is marked on the image below into the new path where you want to safe your log-files.

Step 3 - Change the configuration of the CoreLogin_Log4Net.config file

Stay on the server, where the Authentication Service is running. Navigate to the the file “CoreLogin_Log4Net.config”. This file is located here: C:\ProgrammData\itsense\configuration. Now open the “Web.config” file in Notepad, Notepad++ or an other text edit program.

Change the red marked path in the image below into the new path you have created in step one.

Step 4 - Change Privileges of the created folder

Open the properties of the main folder which you have created in step one. In this case it is the folder “D:\itsense“. Add the User which starts the App Service of the CoreOne Suite and give him all privileges.
You can proof which User needs to have the privileges. Just start the application “Services“ an search for CoreOne Suite - Core. The User which is deposit as “Log On As“ is the user which has to get all the privileges to the new folder. If you won’t do that the User can’t write in to the folder an you won’t have your log-files.
