When installing or updating ESET Secure Authentication (ESA), logs are created in "%ProgramData%\ESET Secure Authentication". If you experience issues when using ESA, it is convenient to genereate detailed logs.

  2. Edit the file, type trace and save changes.
     
  3. Open Windows Task Manager, click Services.
     
  4. Find and restart the following Service (if present)
     
    • Find and right-click ESACore, select Restart.
       
    • Find and right-click ESACpProxy, select Restart.
       
    • Find and right-click ESARadius, select Restart.
       
    • Find and right-click ESANtlmProxy, select Restart.
       
  5. Replicate the issues you experienced.

Repeat the steps from above also on the machine where an issue-related ESA component is installed.
 

If ESET Technical Support asks you to provide logs use ESET Log Collector to collect the information required.
