special characters for LDAP attribute values correctly, according to the RFC
2253 standard. However, the <span class="keyword">iSeries</span> Directory
Services (LDAP) directory server does not fully support the standard. For
these cases, there is nothing that can be done other than to avoid the use
of such characters.<p>The quote (") character is an example of this problem.
The RFC 2253 standard specifies that the character must be escaped by preceding
it with a backslash (\) to be accepted as a literal character in an LDAP attribute
value. Since the current version of <span class="keyword">iSeries</span> Directory
Services (LDAP) does not fully support RFC 2253, the server saves both the
backslash character as well as the quote character.</p>

<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Error logging and debugging</h4><ul><li><strong>Error logs</strong> <p>The application server has a variety of logs to which
messages are written. For example, system message, which can be written by
any application server component or application are written to general purpose
logs such as the JAVA Virtual Machine (JVM) logs and the IBM Service logs.
Other logs are very specific in nature and are scoped to a particular component
or activity. For example, the HTTP Server plugin maintains a component-specific
plugin log.</p>
<p>The general purpose logs, such as JVM and IBM Service, are
used to monitor the health of the application server and assist in troubleshooting.
Troubleshooting for specific components might require additional log analysis,
such as component or product specific log files.</p>
</li>
<li><strong>Trace statements</strong> <p>Application trace statements can be enabled
for the purpose of debugging problems. If problems persist, and you must call IBM Service
for help, one of the first thing they might ask you for is a copy of the application's
trace output. Trace statements are enabled by adding a line to the application's
configuration file and restarting the application.</p>
<p>The application will
read the new configuration when it is started. Application trace statement
will be enabled at that time. When enabled, trace statements are written to
the server's SystemOut.log file.</p>
