NOTE: Change the IP Address 10.222.247.34 to your syslog server's IP Address.
*** AMIS
vi /opt/rsa/primekit/configs/amis/tomcat-amis/setenv.sh
export CATALINA_OPTS="$CATALINA_OPTS -Dsyslog.server=10.222.247.34"
*** SSP
vi /opt/rsa/primekit/configs/ssp/tomcat-ssp/setenv.sh
export CATALINA_OPTS="$CATALINA_OPTS -Dsyslog.server=10.222.247.34"
*** HDAP
vi /opt/rsa/primekit/configs/hdap/tomcat-hdap/setenv.sh
export CATALINA_OPTS="$CATALINA_OPTS -Dsyslog.server=10.222.247.34"
2) Edit and set the following xml files as following:
*** AMIS
vi /opt/rsa/primekit/configs/amis/am8-logconfig.xml
IMPORTANT: Make sure the syslog.server variable is set.
<param name="syslogHost" value="${syslog.server}"/>
<param name="syslogHost" value="${syslog.server}"/>
IMPORTANT: Make sure the AM8_AUDIT_SYSLOG is not commented as showing below:
<logger name="com.rsa.ucm.am8.audit" additivity="false">
<level value="INFO"/>
<appender-ref ref="AM8_AUDIT_daily"/>
<appender-ref ref="AM8_AUDIT_SYSLOG"/>
</logger>
Use the following screenshot as reference.
*** SSP
vi /opt/rsa/primekit/configs/ssp/config/logconfig.xml
IMPORTANT: Make sure the syslog.server variable is set.
<param name="syslogHost" value="${syslog.server}"/>
IMPORTANT: Make sure the SSP_AUDIT_SYSLOG is not commented.
<logger name="audit.com.rsa.pso" additivity="false">
<level value="INFO" />
<appender-ref ref="SSP_AUDIT_daily" />
<appender-ref ref="SSP_AUDIT_SYSLOG" /> -->
</logger>
Use the following screenshot as reference.
*** HDAP
vi /opt/rsa/primekit/configs/hdap/config/laplogconfig.xml
IMPORTANT: Make sure the syslog.server variable is set.
<param name="syslogHost" value="${syslog.server}"/>
<param name="syslogHost" value="${syslog.server}"/>
IMPORTANT: Make sure the HDAP_AUDIT_SYSLOG is not commented.
<logger name="audit.com.rsa.pso" additivity="false">
<level value="INFO"/>
<appender-ref ref="HDAP_AUDIT_daily"/>
<appender-ref ref="HDAP_AUDIT_SYSLOG"/>
</logger>
Use the following screenshot as reference.
3) Restart all SecurID Access Prime Services.
cd /opt/rsa/primekit/scripts
./ssp_shutdown.sh
./hdap_shutdown.sh
./amis_shutdown.sh
./amis_startup.sh
./ssp_startup.sh
./hdap_startup.sh
