10.2 Configuring DAS

10.2.1 Editing Environment Registry Keys

After DAS is successfully installed, it initializes some registry keys. You must edit the registry keys to configure the system for your workstation.

To view and edit the registry keys:

  1. Click Start > Run, type RegEdit, then click OK. The Registry Editor is displayed.

  2. Browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Novell\ARS.

  3. Modify the following keys to adapt the installation to your workstation environment:

    Key Name

    Value

    Description

    ConfigFile

    C:\Program Files\NetIQ\Securelogin\Desktop Automation Services\actions.xml

    The value is the default value.

    This is the pathname for the actions.xml file that defines the actions for the workstation.

    Use this key only when you are referring to an actions.xml file loaded locally to the workstation.

    If you are using a directory-based actions.xml file, set the key value to null (blank).

    ConfigObject

    cn=ARSControl

    ou=ARS

    o=CHIP

    This is the value of the fully distinguished name (DN) of an ARSControl object.

    This key is the object in the directory that stores the actions.xml file.

    ConfigTree

    IP address of the directory: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

    The default value is null.

    This value can be the tree name or the IP address of the eDirectory tree that contains the ARSControl object.

    Leave the key blank if the ConfigFile key is used with a locally installed actions.xml file on the workstation.

    NOTE:The tree name must be specified for DAS to access an ARSControl object.

    The server on which the object is residing must be SLP enabled.

10.2.2 Managing DAS Logs

You can configure the ARSControl.exe application for four levels of logging. These logs are stored in the location %localAppdata%\SecureLogin\Logs\SSODebug.txt. You can enable or disable DAS logging manually by updating the registry settings or using the SecureLogin Logging Manager. For more information on SecureLogin Logging Manager refer, Section 2.5, Managing Log Settings for SecureLogin Components.

To enable the DAS logs using the registry settings, perform the following:

  1. Click Start -> Run, enter RegEdit, then click Ok. The Registry Editor is displayed.

  2. Browse to HKLM\SOFTWARE\Protocom\SecureLogin\Logging\

  3. Right click and add a new key entry of type DWORD and name it as DAS.

  4. Set the value for the DAS key entry as follows:
