About:
Log4shib is a specialized logging framework derived from log4cpp, tailored for the Shibboleth project. It provides robust and configurable logging capabilities essential for debugging and monitoring federated identity systems. This fork ensures compatibility and stability within the Shibboleth ecosystem.
Key Features:
  • Hierarchical logging categories
  • Configurable log output destinations
  • Priority-based filtering
  • Thread-safe operations
  • Compatibility with Shibboleth libraries
Use Cases:
  • Debugging Shibboleth identity provider or service provider issues
  • Monitoring security events in a federated authentication environment
  • Auditing access and transactions within a Shibboleth deployment
Alternatives:
  • log4cpp – Log4shib is a maintained fork specifically optimized for Shibboleth, whereas log4cpp is the original upstream project.
  • spdlog – spdlog is a modern, high-performance C++ logging library, but Log4shib is required for legacy Shibboleth integration.
