Configuring Credential Expiry LoggingLocate this document in the navigation structure

Use

Adobe document services log notification messages that warn you when a credential is about to expire. You can specify the number of days before the expiry date that you want the warning notification to begin to be logged. The server performs credential expiry calculations daily, to account for any updates to credential information. You can specify the time of day that you want the server to calculate the credential expiry dates.

You can view the log messages in the server.log file. See Viewing the Logs .

Procedure

To set credential expiry information:

  1. Navigate to http://<server>:<port>/nwa to start the SAP NetWeaver Administrator.

    Note

    <server> is the AS Java where the Adobe document services are installed and <port> is the HTTP port of the AS Java.

  2. Choose Start of the navigation path Configuration Management Next navigation step Adobe Document Services End of the navigation path

  3. Choose Configuration in the left pane.

  4. Select Credentials from the list and choose Configure Expiry Check . The Expiry Check dialog box is displayed.

  5. In the field Execution Time (24 Clock) , enter the time (using 24 hour notation) at which the expiry check runs to calculate the credentials expiry dates.

  6. Enter a number in the field Warning Threshold (Days) . This number represents the number of days before the credential expires that warning messages will begin being logged on a daily basis.

  7. Save the settings.

  8. To perform an immediate calculation of credential expiry dates, click Run Expiry Check .

Example

If you set the number of days value to 6 and set the calculation time to 16:30, each day the server checks the expiry date of the credential at 16:30 h. When the server calculates the expiry dates six days before the credential is scheduled to expire, it logs a message to the log file, noting that the credential will expire in six days. The next day, when the server calculates the expiry dates, it logs a message noting that the credential will expire in five days. It continues logging daily messages until the credential expires.
