Enabling Authentication Caching and Reducing Log Levels

Re-enable administrator authentication as required by your environment, and reduce log levels to a value more appropriate for normal security operations.

  1. Enable authentication:
    1. In the left navigation pane, expand the Security folder.
    2. Select the Admin security configuration, and display its properties.
    3. In the right administration pane, select the Settings tab.
    4. Set the cache timeout value in seconds. The default is 3600 seconds.
      The Authentication cache timeout determines how long authentication results should be cached before the administrator is required to reauthenticate.
  2. Return log levels to a less sensitive value:
    1. In the left navigation pane, expand the Servers folder and select the server to configure.
    2. Select Log.
    3. In the right administration pane, click the Settings tab.
    4. For the security log component, set the log level to WARN.
