Issue/Introduction

Requirement for writing the user id for the Applications migrated  from webagent based to SPS agent layer.

On websever we had below logformat and UserID was getting printed in Apache logs on webserver.

LogFormat "%h %{X-Forwarded-For}i %l %{SM_UNIVERSALID}i %u %t %D \"%r\" %>s %b" common

 After migrating application from webagent to SPS , we have configured same Logformat on SPS apache but we are unable to print the userid with SM_UNIVERSALID or SM_USER Hedear on SPS.

Environment

Release : 12.8.x

Component : Access Gateway

Any OS

Resolution

1. In Webagent there is a default component Filter ( DLL) and this helps to get the USERID Printed in the Apache Access Log. 

2 . The same component will not be available in the SPS Apache and that is the reason the Header will not updated in the Apache Access Log ,

3. So, The header cannot be printed in the Apache Access log when the application is based on SPS,
