ASP .Net multiple Application Pools, and log file locking

[Martin Robinson]

Yes it was set to DEBUG - a hangover from my development system. I've changed it now down to INFO.

I'm not so sure that this only a Windows issue. Although in Linux it allows you to rename/delete open files, IIRC the disk space is not actually freed until all open handles are closed, and in any case the other processes would continue write to the (now renamed) old files - so still pretty broken.

I agree that not much of use is logged in Native.log (in INFO mode) except a log of all startup/shutdowns of the ISAP filter, which in INFO mode is quite a few lines each time.

I also see this logged quite regularly:
WARN Shibboleth.Application : empty/missing cookieProps setting, set to "https" for SSL/TLS-only usage

What does this mean? How do I stop it? (beyond changing the logging level  to ERROR).
