Time based Auditlog Rollover does not work

Issue/Introduction

We're running a Policy Server, and we noticed that the smaccess log is not being rolled over at the scheduled time (Everyday @ 00:00 hours) on Siteminder 12.8  Policy Sever.

This happens for time based Audit log rollover even though the LastRolloverTime registry is set to 0 as below:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Netegrity\SiteMinder\CurrentVersion\Reports=xxxxxxxx

LastRolloverTime= 0; REG_DWORD

How can we solve this ?

 

Environment

Environment: Policy Server 12.8.xx (Applicable to all the supported releases) (RedHat)
Component: SMPLC

Cause

The algorithm is failing when the roll time is set to 00:00.

The algorithm will work if the roll time is set to 23:59

 

 

Resolution

Policy Server Management Console

- Note:

The work around to resolve the issue is to set the Audit Logfile Rollover time to 23:59.
