Summary:

The code changes in this pull request focus on updating the documentation for logging configuration in the Janssen Authorization Server (jans-auth) and other Janssen modules, such as FIDO2 and SCIM. The key changes include:

1. Removal of the specific details on configuring logging for the jans-auth module, and instead, a focus on the general approach to manage logging configuration using command-line, text-based UI, and REST API.
2. Provision of step-by-step instructions on how to retrieve the current logging configuration, update it, and apply the changes using the command-line interface.
3. Introduction of the text-based UI (TUI) approach to manage logging configuration for different Janssen modules, including jans-auth, FIDO2, and SCIM.
4. Specification of the default log locations for different Janssen modules.
5. Mention of a separate document covering logging configuration for cloud-native deployments.

From an application security perspective, the ability to configure logging at the module level and the availability of different interfaces to manage the configuration are positive aspects. This allows administrators to have fine-grained control over logging and tailor it to their specific needs, which can be important for security monitoring and incident investigation.

Files Changed:

• docs/admin/config-guide/auth-server-config/logging-configuration.md: This file has been updated to provide more general information on managing logging configuration for Janssen modules, including jans-auth, FIDO2, and SCIM.
