Messages file?

[Stacy Magedanz]

We recently switched our authentication method to CAS. (Previously, we had been doing LDAP against a locally-extracted text file.)

CAS works great, but one of the side effects is that messages.txt is now full of nothing but CAS validation messages, numbered 168, 169, 170.

I used to find the messages file useful for discovering sites that were down or other problems with hosts, but if those messages are still being recorded, they're lost among the 168-70 messages. Is there any way I can weed out all the CAS noise from the file, or am I just stuck with it?

Stacy, I get no messages from CAS at all - over the last 2 years, (i.e the last 3 or 4 ezproxy versions). Wish I could tell you what I'm doing right, but just wanted to say it is possible not to get them.

Stacy,

Make sure you don't have a "Debug" statement set for CAS
your user.txt file.

Any programming language, grep or even vi will let you weed out a log file easily using regular expressions. If you can't do that, you'll be stuck with it unless someone has a turnkey solution or you can find an IT staff with a little time to spare (which is something kinda rare).

There was indeed a debug statement in the file, leftover from testing. I took it out, and the messages file looks normal again. Thank you so much, Dave!
