RE: Is there a class or way in Tomcat to write org.apache.catalina.authenticator messages to a different logfile

Hello,

Is there a class or way in Tomcat to write org.apache.catalina.authenticator messages to a different logfile?

I'm using Tomcat 8.0.9 - I have logging turned on for the realm authentication but i cannot get authentication messages to write to a different log prefix file other than catalalina.out.

Is there a way to do this and keep the normal server messages writing to catalina.out?
     In conf/logging.properties - this writes fine to catalina.out
     ############################################################
        # Handler specific properties.
      # Describes specific configuration info for Handlers .
      ############################################################
       org.apache.catalina.realm.level = FINE
       org.apache.catalina.realm.useParentHandlers = true
       org.apache.catalina.authenticator.level = FINE
       org.apache.catalina.authenticator.useParentHandlers = true


I did not see any org.apache.catalina.authenticator.juli.AsyncFileHandler classes to do this -
 I need somthing like: 
         org.apache.catalina.authenticator.juli.AsyncFileHandler.prefix = authuser.


thanks for any information on how to configure this.

The following patch applied to a default Tomcat logging configuration
should do what you want:
