Troubleshooting SAML

System administrators may need to enable a SAML log file to troubleshoot login issues.

To create a SAML log:
  1. Navigate to the Ingeniux CMS installation's site folder (e.g., [Drive]:[path-to-site-root-folder]).
  2. Locate the Web.config file, and open it in a text editor.
  3. Add the following code block snippet to Web.config:
    <system.diagnostics>
    <trace autoflush="true">
        <listeners>
            <add name="TextWriter"/>
        </listeners>
    </trace>
    <sources>
        <source name="ComponentSpace.SAML2" switchValue="Verbose">
            <listeners>
                <add name="TextWriter"/>
            </listeners>
        </source>
    </sources>
    <sharedListeners>
        <add name="TextWriter" type="System.Diagnostics.TextWriterTraceListener"
            initializeData="App_Data/DesignTimeLogs/idp.log"/>
    </sharedListeners>
</system.diagnostics>
  4. Save and close Web.config.
    Additional Information

    This creates an idp.log file in your CMS site root's App_Data/DesignTimeLogs folder path.

    You can change the log path by modifying the @initializeData attribute.
