Debug Settings

To help diagnose issues, you can enable various debug settings in the inc/config.inc.php file. Below are the available debug settings and how to enable them:

1. PHP Error Reporting: To display PHP errors directly in the browser, add the following lines to your index.php or any other entry point file:

   ini_set('display_errors', 1);
   ini_set('display_startup_errors', 1);
   error_reporting(E_ALL);

2. Logger Settings: Configure the logging settings to use the native type and debug level. Currently, these settings are used only for logging authentication issues:

   $logger_type = 'native';
   $logger_level = 'debug';

3. Database Debugging: Enable or disable database debugging. When enabled, detailed database operations and errors will be logged:

   $db_debug = true;

4. DNSSEC Debugging: Enable or disable DNSSEC debugging. When enabled, detailed DNSSEC operations and errors will be logged:

   $pdnssec_debug = true;

5. LDAP Debugging: Enable or disable LDAP debugging. When enabled, detailed LDAP operations and errors will be logged:

   $ldap_debug = true;

By enabling these settings, you can gain more insight into the application's behavior and troubleshoot issues more effectively.
