Issue/Introduction

Identity Management Logging.jsp does not work as expected.  When adding new category\classes in the logging.jsp, they do not persist and will disappear from the logging.jsp screen after a few minutes or when the browser session is closed. 

The issue can be recreated as follows:

1. Load logging.jsp via the url (i.e. "http(s)://<IDM_NODE_ADDRESS>:8080/iam/im/logging.jsp" )
2. In the "Set Logger" section at the top of the page, enter a class\ category that is not present in the default list

For example;
ims.policyxpress
ims.policyxpress.userlog
com.netegrity.imsconfig.model.environment and
com.netegrity.llsdk6.imsimpl.managedobject.ProvisioningRoleImpl

3. In the adjacent drop-down list select "DEBUG" and then click the "set" button.
4. Scroll down and check that the Category (i.e. ims.policyxpress) appears in the list and is set the adjacent logging value to "DEBUG".
5. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and select "Update".

After a few minutes (or when the browser session is closed) the values are reset to their defaults and the new class\ category settings are missing.
