LDAP Server Object Log File Options Property Page

Note: This page is not available in Novell® LDAP Services for eDirectoryTM versions 3.14 or newer. The LDAP messages are saved in the DSTrace log file if the Trace File option in DSTrace is selected.

Use this page to choose the types of events that are recorded in the LDAP Services for eDirectory log file and to configure log file parameters.
