How to view configured Access Gateway Apache directives

Environment

NetIQ Access Manager 3.2
NetIQ Access Manager 3.2 Access Gateway Appliance/Service

Situation

Almost all Apache directives are defined in the Advanced Options section of the iManager UI, but it's not very easy to confirm whether the directives have been applied to the Apache proxy or not. The ability to dump the Apache directives to a file would be very useful.

Resolution

Apply 3.2 SP2 and check the ags_error.log - all the global and service level Advanced Options enabled by the administrator will be written here. The log entry will be added every time admin modifies the advanced options.
