Resolution

Client debugging

  1. Invoke the OTP Desktop client with aotplog=console (for log messages to console) as shown below. Note it is required that we append “file:///” like the below: file:///C:/CA/arcot/OTPDesktop/html/index.html?aotplog=console 
  2. As you press the buttons such as “Add”, you will see the debug log in the Javascript console.

Plugin debugging

  1. Set authminderlog=C:\debug.txt  (to capture the logs in a file called debug.txt).
  2. Launch the browser by executing this on the command prompt: "c:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe".
  3. On the browser, navigate to the Desktop OTP client and start testing on the flow.
  4. The debug messages will be in file debug.txt in the specified location in #1 above.
