Article summary

This page allows you to specify the general settings for the server instance.

Changes of the general settings require a restart of the OneSpan Authentication Server service. When you exit the Configuration Utility, you will be prompted to allow an automatic service restart.

Table: General page
Field nameDescription
Server LocationThe IP address of the OneSpan Authentication Server instance. This must be a valid IPv4 address and the same IP address as set in the server license.
RADIUS Dictionary fileThe name of the used RADIUS dictionary file.
Tracing

There are 3 choices for the tracing level:

  • No Tracing. Operations performed on this server will not be recorded
  • Basic Tracing. Some operations performed on this server will be recorded and placed in the specified file
  • Full Tracing. All operations performed on this server will be recorded and placed in the specified file.
Disable log caching

If selected, log data will not be stored in the cache, but flushed after each record.

We do not recommend to disable log caching permanently, because constantly writing log data significantly increases disk usage and affects the performance of OneSpan Authentication Server services.

Disable log caching only when you investigate server or application issues.

Enable log rotation

Trace files can be rotated, with a new file being created after a specified elapsed time period, or when a specified size is reached. Select this checkbox to enable trace file rotation. This option is available only if the tracing level is set to Basic or Full.

Rotate on days

Start a new trace log file after the specified number of days.

Rotate on size

Start a new trace log file when the current file reaches the specified size.

Number of archived logs

The maximum number of trace log files to keep. The number of archived trace log files will remain constant, but a new file will be added to the archive list, and the oldest file will be deleted.

Compress archived logs

Determines whether archived trace log files should be compressed.
