Security event logging
Security events on a service integration bus are logged as audit or error records in the SystemOut.log file for the bus.
With WAS v8 you can configure the server to use the HPEL log and trace infrastructure instead of using SystemOut.log , SystemErr.log, trace.log, and activity.log files or native z/OS logging facilities. If you are using HPEL, you can access all of your log and trace information using $PROFILE/bin/LogViewer.sh.
A security event is the outcome of an attempt by a connecting client application to authenticate to a bus. There are two possible outcomes: authentication success, and authentication failure. Success is logged as an audit record, and failure as an error record. We can control the type and number of audit and error records logged for a bus by configuring a custom property for the bus, in the administrative console. The property is a name-value pair called audit.bus.authentication that can have one of the following three string values:
- all
- Audit every attempt to authenticate to the bus.
- failure
- Audit only failure to authenticate to the bus.
- none
- Do not audit any attempt to authenticate to the bus.
