Enabling PKCS#11 logging to facilitate easier testing and troubleshooting is recommended. This can be done by configuring the Loglevel and LogPath parameters in the configuration file.
-
LogPathshould point to a writable directory (not a specific file) where log files can be stored. -
Loglevelcontrols the verbosity of the logs:
-
Set it to
1for basic logging. -
For detailed testing and debugging, increase the level to
4.
The generated log file will be named cs_pkcs11_R2.log and located in the directory specified by LogPath. Reviewing this log file can help identify and resolve issues that arise during testing.
Once testing is complete, it is advisable to reduce the Loglevel to 1 or 2 to limit logging to only critical or important messages, thereby optimizing performance and reducing unnecessary log data.
