ACCESS: How do I enable debug logging around Access Federation

There may be cases where Access Federation is not working as expected, and you would like to debug the problem. 

You can enable the below debug logging in the $JFROG_HOME/var/etc/access/logback.xml. No restart is required for the logging to take effect.

Note: This is not the $JFROG_HOME/var/etc/artifactory/logback.xml file, the Access system has its own logging file under its etc folder.
 

<appender name="accessfederation" class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.RollingFileAppender">
        <File>${log.dir}/access-federation.log</File>
<rollingPolicy class="org.jfrog.common.logging.logback.rolling.FixedWindowWithDateRollingPolicy">
<FileNamePattern>${log.dir.archived}/access-federation.%i.log.gz</FileNamePattern>
<maxIndex>10</maxIndex>
</rollingPolicy>
<triggeringPolicy class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy">
<MaxFileSize>25MB</MaxFileSize>
</triggeringPolicy>
<encoder class="ch.qos.logback.core.encoder.LayoutWrappingEncoder">
<layout class="org.jfrog.common.logging.logback.layout.BackTracePatternLayout">
<pattern>%date{yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS, UTC}Z [jfrt ] [%-5p] [%-16X{uber-trace-id}] [%-30.30(%c{3}:%L)] [%-20.20thread] - %m%n</pattern>
</layout>
</encoder>
</appender>

<logger name="org.jfrog.access.server.rest.resource.system.communication.federation" additivity="false">
<level value="TRACE"/>
<appender-ref ref="accessfederation"/>
</logger>
<logger name="org.jfrog.access.server.service.communication.federation" additivity="false">
<level value="TRACE"/>
<appender-ref ref="accessfederation"/>
</logger>

The above will create an access-federation.log file under $JFROG_HOME/var/log.
