API trace tool

 

You can set up the API trace tool to troubleshoot problems with Kerberos and Generic Security Services API calls.

Network authentication service provides an API trace tool that an administrator can use to create a file that contains all the Kerberos and Generic Security Services (GSS) API calls. With this tool, you can troubleshoot more advanced errors involving your own Kerberos-enabled applications and errors that might occur during network authentication service configuration and during Kerberos ticket requests. Using environment variables, you can create the tool and have it generate a log file in a user's home directory.

The home directory must exist before completing these steps.

  1. Setting up the API trace tool
    To write the API trace tool to a file, complete these steps on the System i™ platform on which network authentication service is configured.
  2. Accessing the API trace log file
    After you have set up the API trace tool, you can access the log file to begin troubleshooting.
