How to Configure Authentication Service Timeouts and Logging

Configure timeout and logging settings to manage login processes and to log user group information related to your configured authentication schemes.

Configure Timeout and Logging

To configure timeout and logging settings for authentication services:

1. Go to CONFIGURATION > Configuration Tree > Box > Infrastructure Services > Authentication Service.
2. In the left navigation pane, select Timeouts and Logging.
3. From the Configuration Mode menu in the left, select Switch to Advanced View.
4. Click Lock.
5. Enable Log Groups to log user group information.
6. If desired, enable Log Add. Meta-directory Fields to log additional meta-directory fields.

7. In the Timeout Settings, you can adjust the setting according to your requirements.

   Timeout settings are preset by Barracuda Networks based on viable values. Keep in mind that timeouts depend on multiple speed factors configured for the client, the network, and the server. To achieve optimal authentication results, it is recommended to configure time-critical values in accordance with network and system administrators.
8. If required, configure the Expert Settings, e.g., Client Codepage.
9. Click Send Changes and Activate.

With timeout and logging settings configured, user group information is logged and the logfiles will be dispayed on the Barracuda CloudGen Firewall Logs page.
