Debug Logging

Debug logging writes all information relevant to a RADIUS request processing to the packets log file. This information includes the steps the server takes to handle a request. Its most useful application is in wireless authentication, when ClearBox Server need to exchange several messages with an access point before it takes final authentication decision. This exchange is complex as the data passed in encapsulated in EAP messages and may be encrypted. In order to overcome this complexity, debug logging writes all this data in clear and understandable form.

Debug logging should be turned with cautions and only for initial server tuning or troubleshooting. Normal operation should not be accompanied with debug logging as it significantly reduces the server performance and, additionally, reveals security information.

Debug logging is made only when Inject error messages into transactions log option is turned on in Server Manager (Server manager -> Server settings -> Logging settings).

To change debug logs mode, run Server Manager, select Server settings -> Logging settings -> Debug logs level (0 for normal mode, 1 for debug mode).
