Description

SharePoint 2010 has better logging options than previous versions of SharePoint, and it also has "claim space authentication", which apparently restricts the ability of the plugin to write to the standard system event logs. It thus seems like a good idea to upgrade the ManifoldCF SharePoint 2010 Plugin's log usage. Here is some advice received:

"In SharePoint 2010 it is common to write to the ULS logs*. This also lets you control the log-level through central admin. Check out http://www.parago.de/2011/01/how-to-implement-a-custom-sharepoint-2010-logging-service-for-uls-and-windows-event-log/ and http://dbremes.wordpress.com/2010/09/02/using-sharepoint-2010s-logging-infrastructure-part-2/ , they should explain it. I skipped the Event-log and registry parts for my implementation, only writing to ULS (what they call trace log)"
