Logging
The Logging tab allows administrators to configure logging settings for the SafeNet Agent for Microsoft Outlook Web App.
Logging level
Logging level adjustment
It allows administrators to adjust the logging level. For log levels 1, 2 and 3, only the initial connection between the agent and the server, and any failed connection attempts, are logged. Log level 5 is most detailed and sets the agent in debug mode.
To adjust the logging level, drag the pointer on the Logging level adjustment scale to:
- 1: Critical (Only critical)
- 2: Error (Critical and errors)
- 3: Warning (Critical, errors, and warnings)
- 4: Info (Critical, errors, warnings, and information messages)
- 5: Debug (All available information)
Default value: 3
Log file location
It allows administrators to specify the location where the log file will be saved. The log file is rotated on a daily basis.
The default location is C:\Program Files\Thales\Exchange\Log.
Note
If you change the default log file location, ensure that the folder is accessible to all the required users.
Localization
The settings on this tab represent prompts and information messages provided by the SafeNet Agent for Microsoft Outlook Web App. To improve usability, these can be modified using the Messages.txt file, path of which is available in the .INI file. The Messages.txt file needs to be manually modified outside the OWA Manager.
The file can be found at the following default location:
\Program Files\Thales\Exchange\LocalizedMessages
Note
The localized text cannot be edited on the Localization tab interface. It must be edited in the Initialization (.INI) file.
