VCST-70-000050 - Security Token Service log data and records must be backed up onto a different system or media.

Information

Protection of Security Token Service log data includes ensuring log data is not accidentally lost or deleted. Backing up Security Token Service log records to an unrelated system or onto separate media than the system the web server is running on helps to ensure that, in the event of a catastrophic system failure, the log records will be retained.

Solution

Navigate to and open:

/etc/vmware-syslog/vmware-services-sso-services.conf
