Enable logging in the SafeNet Authentication Client

This guide describes how users can enable logging in the SafeNet Authentication Client. The goal is to save log files and, if necessary, forward them to support for troubleshooting purposes. Logging means that the client generates log files documenting processes, system events, and potential errors related to the use of USB tokens.

Alert
The logs do not contain sensitive data such as passwords or PINs, but rather technical information about authentication processes, timestamps, and system status.
