Description

DEBUG_VAULT enables detailed logging for all ID Vault operations on the Domino server – from the initial upload of a Notes ID (push) and downloads (pull) to password reset and ID recovery. It exposes the individual steps and return values for vault operations, which usually provides the fastest diagnosis in support cases around the ID Vault.

Example configuration

DEBUG_VAULT=2
Debug_Outfile=C:\Domino\debug\vault_debug.log

Notes & pitfalls

  • Level 2 produces significantly more output – enable only temporarily and store the log file under access protection.
  • Captured output includes user and certifier names – treat as privacy-sensitive data.
  • Use Debug_Outfile to redirect the output into a dedicated file, otherwise it goes to console.log.
  • Effective immediately via set config DEBUG_VAULT=...; reset to 0 after diagnosis.
  • Pairs with DEBUG_PWD_AUTH (authentication) and DEBUG_RECOVERID for a complete picture.
