Configuring User Authentication Auditing
All system objects (devices, processes, and disk files) and their authorization
records
Auditing specified by configuration supplements the settings in the individual
authorization records (if the Safeguard software is configured to check the individual
record). For example, if an individual disk file record is set to audit ALL access
attempts and the Safeguard configuration is set to audit NONE of the disk file access
attempts, both local and remote access attempts are audited for the individual disk file.
Specifying both systemwide and individual auditing does not cause duplicate records
to be generated for audited events.
For more information about systemwide auditing, see the Safeguard Audit Service
Manual.
Configuring User Authentication Auditing
You can configure systemwide auditing of user authentication in addition to the audit
settings in the individual user authentication records.
These Safeguard attributes relate to user authentication auditing:
AUDIT-AUTHENTICATE-PASS
Successful user and alias logon attempts are audited. This setting supplements the
audit settings in the user or alias authentication record. The conditions can be ALL,
NONE, or LOCAL. The default is NONE.
AUDIT-AUTHENTICATE-FAIL
Unsuccessful user and alias logon attempts are audited. This setting supplements
the audit settings in the user or alias authentication record. The conditions can be
ALL, NONE, or LOCAL. If set to ALL, logon attempts with invalid user IDs are also
audited. The default is NONE.
AUDIT-SUBJECT-MANAGE-PASS
Successful attempts to create or manage a user or alias authentication record or a
group definition record are audited. This setting supplements the audit settings in
the user or alias record. The conditions can be ALL, NONE, LOCAL, or REMOTE.
The default is NONE.
AUDIT-SUBJECT-MANAGE-FAIL
Unsuccessful attempts to create or manage a user or alias authentication record or
a group definition record are audited. This setting supplements the audit settings in
the user or alias record. The conditions can be ALL, NONE, LOCAL, or REMOTE.
The default is NONE.
Note. Some of the global configuration attributes that control systemwide auditing also affect
client auditing. For details concerning these attributes, refer to the Safeguard Audit Service
Manual.
