After you have updated Ubisecure Server, check from the diagnostics log that the added authentication methods have started properly. The uas3_diag.yyyy-mm-dd.log file is found in the ubilogin-sso/ubilogin/logs directory.

Code Block

titleListing 3. Example lines from uas3_diag.log

2010-05-25 09:31:28,332 init INFO password.sql.1: ubilogin.method.provider.spi.DirectoryPasswordMethod: started

Then you can use the Ubisecure Server Management application to enable the SQL specific authentication methods in a Web Agent Application and test the authentication using credentials found in the SQL database.
