Situation
Resolution
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Novell\NOVEAP]
"DebugLogDebugLevel"=dword:00000001
Any value for DebugLogDebugLevel other than zero will cause logging to occur.
The size of the debug log file is controlled by the following registry key and value:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Novell\NOVEAP]
"DebugLogMaxFileSize"=dword:00000000
The DebugLogMaxFileSize value specifies in KB how large the debug log file will be allowed to grow. If the debug log file reaches the size specified in KB in DebugLogMaxFileSize, the file will be deleted and logging will continue but with all prior log content deleted. Not having a DebugLogMaxFileSize value defined or having the value set to 0 allows the log file to grow indefinitely (the default setting).
For example, to allow for a log file up to 100MB, set DebugLogMaxFileSize to 102400. To allow for a log file up to 10MB, set DebugLogMaxFileSize to 10240.

Additional Information
This configuration applies to the Novell Client 2 SP1 for Windows and later. Earlier versions used different registry settings to enable debugging.
For the Novell Client for Windows XP/2003 4.91 SP4/SP5:
For builds of NOVEAP.DLL dated 08Feb2010 or later (first released in 491PSP5_NOVEAP.ZIP, for use on Windows XP SP3 only), use the above configuration.
For builds of NOVEAP.DLL dated earlier than 08Feb2010, enable NOVEAP tracing by creating the following registry key and value:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Tracing\NOVEAP]
"EnableFileTracing"=dword:00000001
Disable logging by setting the "EnableFileTracing" value to 00000000, or by removing the "EnableFileTracing" value entirely.
The log file will be created as C:\Windows\Tracing\NOVEAP.LOG.
