how to configure Shibboleth SP to send logs on stdout and stderr console

[Paul Caskey]

We use a runtime pipe in the InCommon TAP container for the Shibb SP [1].

Specifically, in these 3 files:
https://github.internet2.edu/docker/shib-sp/blob/master/container_files/system/startup.sh
https://github.internet2.edu/docker/shib-sp/blob/master/container_files/shibboleth/shibd.logger
https://github.internet2.edu/docker/shib-sp/blob/master/container_files/shibboleth/native.logger

Hi all,

I'm using Shibboleth SP v. 3.1.0 on RHEL 7 in a Docker container.

I need to send the SP logs in stdout and stderr console, in order to read them with the "docker logs" command.

I have tried to configure the shibd.logger configuration file by adding the follow appender:



log4j.appender.stdout=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender

log4j.appender.stdout.Target=System.out

log4j.appender.stdout.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout

log4j.appender.stdout.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} %-5p %c{1}:%L - %m%n

and the follow root category:



log4j.rootCategory=INFO, shibd_log, warn_log, stdout

but it doesn't work. I get the log files in /var/log/shibboleth/ path but not in stdout console

 I run the SP daemon inside the docker container with the follow command:

exec  /usr/sbin/shibd -u $SHIBD_USER -c $CONFING_SHARED/shibboleth2.xml -p $pidfile -f -F

Thanks in advance

Francesco
