POST-INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Activate Password Database Audit Logging

To activate this feature

Create a file called /etc/spds.rc on the SPD Server host containing the line
SYSLOG=YES
The user creating /etc/spds.rc should not be the same as the user installing and administrating SPDS.
/etc/spds.rc must be readable by the SPD Server (the uid who started up the server).
An entry must be made to the /etc/syslog.conf file to indicate where the user.notice messages will be sent. For example the following entry in /etc/syslog.conf will send the user.notice messages to file /var/adm/messages:
```
user.notice                    /var/adm/messages
```

Adding SYSLOG=YES will enable logging changes to the psmgr database by the psmgr utility and by the SPDS SMC Password Manager panel. The changes will be logged to the system log as user.notice messages.

Messages are logged when the SPD Server password database is updated by

an SMC operator connected to a running SPD Server
an SPD Server administrator who started the SPD Server
an SPD Server administrator running the password manager utility

opuser is the userid of:

the SPD Server admin who started the SPD Server
the SPD Server admin who started the password database utility

opuser is SPDSSMC if the change was made by the SPDS SMC

Messages sent to the syslog are:

   "SPDS AUDIT opuser ADD userid "

   "SPDS AUDIT opuser GROUPDEF newgroupname"

   "SPDS AUDIT opuser AUTHORIZE username"

   "SPDS AUDIT opuser DELETE username"

   "SPDS AUDIT opuser GROUPDEL groupname"

   "SPDS AUDIT opuser RESET username"

   "SPDS AUDIT opuser CHGPASS username"

   "SPDS AUDIT opuser GROUPMEM group1 ... group5"

   "SPDS AUDIT opuser CHGAUTH userid"

   "SPDS AUDIT opuser CHGEXPIRE userid"

   "SPDS AUDIT opuser CHGTIMEOUT userid"

   "SPDS AUDIT opuser CHGFAIL userid"

   "SPDS AUDIT opuser CHGPERFCLASS userid"

   "SPDS AUDIT opuser EXPORT"
