Chapter 3. Administrative Basics
NOTE
All of the Certificate System subsystems (CA, RA, DRM, TKS, and OCSP) have seven log
levels, 0 to 6, except for the TPS subsystem, which has eleven log levels (0 to 10).
Log levels are represented by numbers 0 to 6 (0 to 10 for TPS), each number indicating the level of
logging to be performed by the server. The level sets how detailed the logging should be.
• A higher priority level means less detail because only events of high priority are logged; the highest
priority log level is 0.
• A lower priority level means greater detail because more kinds of events are recorded in the log file;
the lowest priority log level is 6 (10 for TPS).

Description
These messages contain debugging information. This level

much information.
These messages provide general information about the state
of the Certificate System, including status messages such
as Certificate System initialization complete and Request for

These messages are warnings only and do not indicate any
failure in the normal operation of the server.
These messages indicate errors and failures that prevent the
server from operating normally, including failures to perform
a certificate service operation (User authentication failed or
Certificate revoked) and unexpected situations that can cause
irrevocable errors (The server cannot send back the request it
processed for a client through the same channel the request
came from the client).

These messages indicate that, because of an error, the service
cannot continue running.
These messages identify occurrences that affect the security of
the server. For example, Privileged access attempted
by user with revoked or unlisted certificate.
