These steps are optional.

For general information about logging, see Enabling debug messages and console logging in the PingFederate documentation.

  1. Open the <pf_install>/pingfederate/server/default/conf/log4j2.xml file for editing.
  2. If you want to log activity for PingFederate and all adapters, do the following.
    1. Find the following section.
      <AsyncRoot level="INFO" includeLocation="false">
      	<!-- <AppenderRef ref="CONSOLE" /> -->
      	<AppenderRef ref="FILE" />
      </AsyncRoot>
    2. Change INFO to DEBUG.
      <AsyncRoot level="DEBUG" includeLocation="false">
      	<!-- <AppenderRef ref="CONSOLE" /> -->
      	<AppenderRef ref="FILE" />
      </AsyncRoot>
    3. If you want to see the adapter activity in the console, remove the comment tags.
      <AsyncRoot level="INFO" includeLocation="false">
      	<AppenderRef ref="CONSOLE" />
      	<AppenderRef ref="FILE" />
      </AsyncRoot>
  3. If you want to log activity just for the LinkedIn IdP Adapter, add the following line.
    <Logger name="com.pingidentity.adapter.idp.linkedin" level="DEBUG"/>
  4. Save the file.
