1. Enable Fingerprint debugging for the realm
- Open the SecureAuth administrative interface
- Select the realm on which you would like to enable fingerprinting
- Navigate to the System Info tab
- In the Links section click the "Click to edit Web Config file." hyperlink
- In the Web Config Editor locate the entry <add key="DFPDebug" value="False" />
- Change the entry <add key="DFPDebug" value="False" /> to <add key="DFPDebug" value="True" />
- Click the Save button to confirm the change
2. Display Fingerprinting debug output
- Open a browser window and visit the realm you configured in step 1
- In the address bar append the following to the URL "?Debug=fp"
- Press Enter
- When the web browsers reloads follow the workflow as usual
- After the "SecureAuth is checking your browser for a user credential." screen you will be presented with the debug results
Info: The standard level of debugging provided by the command "?Debug=fp" is normally adequate to diagnose a problem. However you can request extended debugging information by changing the command to "?Debug=fp2", if needed.
The debug option is case-sensitive as such the debug command must always be capitalized (e.g. ?Debug=fp).
