Fix Recommendation

Open /etc/vmware-syslog/stig-services-vami.conf with a text editor.

Create the file if it does not exist.

Set the contents of the file as follows:

input(type="imfile" File="/var/log/vmware/sso/ssoAdminServer.log"
Tag="ssoAdmin"
Severity="info"
Facility="local0")

input(type="imfile" File="/var/log/vmware/sso/vmware-identity-sts.log"
Tag="ssoIdentitySTS"
Severity="info"
Facility="local0")

input(type="imfile" File="/var/log/vmware/sso/websso.log"
Tag="ssoWeb"
Severity="info"
Facility="local0")

Check Contents

At the command prompt, execute the following command:

# grep -v "^#" /etc/vmware-syslog/stig-services-sso.conf

Expected result:

input(type="imfile" File="/var/log/vmware/sso/ssoAdminServer.log"
Tag="ssoAdmin"
Severity="info"
Facility="local0")

input(type="imfile" File="/var/log/vmware/sso/vmware-identity-sts.log"
Tag="ssoIdentitySTS"
Severity="info"
Facility="local0")

input(type="imfile" File="/var/log/vmware/sso/websso.log"
