Open SSO integration with Active Directory

Hi Experts,
I am trying to integrate OpenSSO with our existing Active Directory setup. I followed all steps mentioned in this article
http://blogs.sun.com/bounds/entry/opensso_authentication_with_active_directory

But when I try authenticating a user id fails. Now I am not sure how to debug this. I dont see any server logs moving. Any idea how to debug the OpenSSO installation?
I am not even sure if its trying to reach Active Directory or not?

Is there anyways I can enable logging in OpenSSO war file?

Also, I am not using an administrator account to contact Active Directory, is it necessary?

Any help or ideas would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hi Priya,

I'm not at all familiar with this product but I can suggest that:

1.) Unzip the OpenSSO war and see if they have a log4j.properties or log4j.xml, that should show you where their logs are going to.
2.) Since it is open source you should be able to download the source code, add your own logging and build your own WAR.
3.) I suspect you'd need to be an administrator or some one with elevated privileges yes.

Thanks for your reply, I edited the log4j.properties file in opensso/WEB-INF/classes directory and set the logging to DEBUG mode. But it doesnt seem to be logging anything. Here are the content of the prop file. I dont even see the c:/temp/opensso.log file created

It seems that the settings here are not being used...

I'd expect that logging to work, I assume the temp directory exists and there are no permissioning issues with that folder? It might be worth checking the source code of the project to see if they actually do have any logging statements

temp directory exists and I have all permission on that directory to create or delete files. I suspect this file is not being used for logging. there may be some other config file which is being read...not sure though...

In that case all I can suggest is to view the source code and see what logging it attempts.
