User Authentication Record
The Safeguard subsystem maintains an authentication record for each user and alias
on the system. Attempts to add, delete, read, or change these records might be
audited, depending on whether auditing has been specified for such events.
If auditing is specified and an attempt is made to add, delete, or read an authentication
record, a secondary record is generated that contains an image of the authentication
record.
If auditing is specified and an attempt is made to change an authentication record, a
pair of secondary records is generated. One contains an image of the record before
the attempted change, and the other contains an image of the record showing the
attempted change.
For every image of an authentication record, there is a corresponding image of an
extension to the authentication record. This extension contains additional user
attributes. For more information, see
User Record Extensions on page 7-51.
These attributes appear in the secondary text area for a user or alias authentication
