Configuring Safeguard for Systemwide Auditing
AUDIT-CLIENT-GUARDIAN (ACG) and 
AUDIT-DEVICE-ACCESS-PASS/FAIL Attributes
If an AUDIT-DEVICE-ACCESS-PASS or AUDIT-DEVICE-ACCESS-FAIL attribute is 
set, Safeguard authorization records the opening of the OSS terminals that are written 
to the audit trail. 
If an AUDIT-DEVICE-ACCESS-PASS or AUDIT-DEVICE-ACCESS-FAIL attribute and 
the ACG attribute are set, the audit outcome records the opening of the OSS terminals 
that are written to the audit trail.
AUDIT-CLIENT-GUARDIAN (ACG) and 
AUDIT-DISKFILE-ACCESS-PASS/FAIL Attributes
If an AUDIT-DISKFILE-ACCESS-PASS or AUDIT-DISKFILE-ACCESS-FAIL 
attribute and the ACG attribute are set, the OSS open the Guardian file outcome 
records are written to the audit trail.
Configuring Safeguard for Systemwide 
Auditing
You can specify systemwide auditing of Safeguard events by altering the Safeguard 
configuration. You can configure systemwide Safeguard auditing for:
•
All devices, subdevices, and their associated authorization records
•
All processes, subprocesses, and their associated authorization records
•
All volumes, subvolumes, disk files, and their associated authorization records
•
All of these objects collectively and their associated authorization records
•
All users, user aliases, groups, and their associated records
Systemwide auditing affects all object
s of the specified type including those that do not 
have protection records. For example, if you specify systemwide auditing for devices 
and subdevices, all devices and subdevices are audited even if they are not 
individually protected. 
If an object is individually protected, the systemwide audit settings supplement the 
audit settings in the object’
s protection record (provided the Safeguard subsystem is 
configured to check the protection 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.
