You cannot use IIS Manager to configure the logging settings for the ADFS Web Agent in Windows Server 2003 (911687)

WORKAROUND

To work around this issue, use either of the following methods.

Method 1: To configure the logging settings for a claims-based application

To configure the logging settings for a claims-based application, modify the application's Web.config file. To do this, add code that is similar to the following sample code:

<system.diagnostics>
    <switches>
      <add name="WebSsoDebugLevel" value="15" />
    </switches>
    <trace autoflush="true" indentsize="3">
      <listeners>
        <add name="ADFSLogListener" type="System.Web.Security.SingleSignOn.BoundedSizeLogFileTraceListener, System.Web.Security.SingleSignOn, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35, Custom=null" initializeData="C:\adfsapps\webapps1\sts.log" />
      </listeners>
    </trace>
</system.diagnostics>

Note When you add the code, use the settings that you want to configure instead of the settings in the sample code.

Method 2: To configure the logging settings for a Windows NT token-based application

To configure the logging settings for a Windows NT token-based application, modify the registry. To do this, follow these steps.
