Hello Everyone,
I am not able to debug, as the logs are not reflecting according to my
modification in the source code.
I changed
log.info(LogManager.getHeader(context, "auth", "attempting trivial auth of
user="+netid));
to
log.info(LogManager.getHeader(context, "auth", "attempting trivial LDAP
auth of user="+netid));
However, after re-building and installing , i still see no difference in
the log file.
I doubt, if the changes that i am making are reflecting in the build.
May i please ask for some help, about how to modify the source code,
compile, rebuild and deploy ( with the same database), using eclipse.
Thank you
Lohit
