These steps will instruct you on how to modify the SecureAuth configuration files which can impact the operation of your appliance. Serious problems might occur if you modify those files incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the files before you modify them. Then, you can restore the original files should a problem occur. If you are unsure about executing the changes or encounter any problems while following the instructions, contact SecureAuth support at +1 949 777 6959 Option 2 for assistance.
1. Enable Fingerprint debugging for the realm
Open the SecureAuth administrative interface
Select the realm on which you would like to enable fingerprinting
Navigate to the System Info tab
In the Links section click the "Click to edit Web Config file." hyperlink
In the Web Config Editor locate the entry<add key="DFPDebug" value="False" />
Change the entry <add key="DFPDebug" value="False" /> to <add key="DFPDebug" value="True" />
Click the Save button to confirm the change
2. Display Fingerprinting debug output
Open a browser window and visit the realm you configured in step 1
In the address bar append the following to the URL "?Debug=fp"
Press Enter
When the web browsers reloads follow the workflow as usual
After the "SecureAuth is checking your browser for a user credential." screen you will be presented with the debug results
Note
The standard level of debugging provided by the command "?Debug=fp" is normally adequate to diagnose a problem. However you can request extended debugging information by changing the command to "?Debug=fp2", if needed.
Warning
The debug option is case-sensitive as such the debug command must always be capitalized (e.g. ?Debug=fp).
