AuditFilterCommands

Use the Jython scripting language to configure the security auditing system with the wsadmin tool. Use the commands and parameters in the AuditFilterCommands group to configure and manage auditable events.

Use the following commands to configure filters for auditable events in our security auditing configuration:

• convertFilterRefToString
• convertFilterStringToRef
• createAuditFilter
• deleteAuditFilter
• deleteAuditFilterByRef
• disableAuditFilter
• enableAuditFilter
• getAuditFilter
• getAuditOutcomes
• getSupportedAuditEvents
• getSupportedAuditOutcomes
• isAuditFilterEnabled
• isEventEnabled
• listAuditFilters
• listAuditFiltersByEvent
• listAuditFiltersByRef
• modifyAuditFilter

convertFilterRefToString

The convertFilterRefToString command converts a reference ID of a filter to a shortened string value such as AUTHN:SUCCESS.

Target object: None.

Required parameters:

-filterRef

Reference ID for a specific audit filter in the audit.xml file. The system defines 4 default audit filters by default. Use the createAuditFilter command to create additional audit filters in our audit.xml configuration file. (String, required)

Return value.

The command returns the string value of an event type in a shortened format, as the following sample output displays:

AUTHN:SUCCESS,AUTHN:INFO,AUTHZ:SUCCESS,AUTHZ:INFO

Batch mode example usage

• Use Jython string:

  AdminTask.convertFilterRefToString('-filterRef AuditSpecification_1184598886859')
  

• Use Jython list:

  AdminTask.convertFilterRefToString(['-filterRef', 'AuditSpecification_1184598886859'])
  

Interactive mode example usage

• Use Jython:

  AdminTask.convertFilterRefToString('-interactive')
  

convertFilterStringToRef

The convertFilterStringToRef command converts the shortened name of an event type, such as AUTHN:SUCCESS, to the reference ID of the audit filter in the audit.xml configuration file.

The command accepts one event and outcome pair. The command does not accept multiple event and outcome pairs, such as AUTHN:SUCCESS AUTHZ:SUCCESS.

Target object: None.

Required parameters:

-filter

Specifies a shortened form of a reference ID for an audit filter, such as AUTHN:SUCCESS. The event type must exist in our security auditing system configuration. (String, required)

Return value.

The command returns the reference ID for the event type of interest, as the following example displays:

AuditSpecification_1173199825608

Batch mode example usage

• Use Jython string:

  AdminTask.convertFilterStringToRef('-filter AUTHN:SUCCESS')
  

• Use Jython list:

  AdminTask.convertFilterStringToRef(['-filter', 'AUTHN:SUCCESS'])
  

Interactive mode example usage

• Use Jython:

createAuditFilter

The createAuditFilter command creates and enables a new audit event filter specification entry in the audit.xml configuration file.

The user must have the auditor administrative role to run this command.

Target object: None.

Required parameters:

-name

Unique name to associate with the audit event filter. (String, required)

-eventType

List of one or more auditable events. To specify a list, separate each outcome with a comma (,) character. (String, required)

We can configure the following auditable events in our security auditing system:

Event name	Description
SECURITY_AUTHN	Audits all authentication events
SECURITY_AUTHN_MAPPING	Audits events that record mapping of credentials where two user identities are involved
SECURITY_AUTHN_TERMINATE	Audits authentication termination events such as a form-based logout
SECURITY_AUTHZ	Audits events related to authorization checks when the system enforces access control policies
SECURITY_RUNTIME	Audits runtime events such as the starting and the stopping of security servers. This event type is not meant for administrative operations performed by a system administrator as such operations need to use the other SECURITY_MGMT_* event types.
SECURITY_MGMT_AUDIT	Audits events that record operations related to the audit subsystem such as starting audit, stopping audit, turning audit on or off, changing configuration of audit filters or level, archiving audit data, purging audit data, and so on.
SECURITY_RESOURCE_ACCESS	Audits events that record all accesses to a resource. Examples are all accesses to a file, all HTTP requests and responses to a given web page, and all accesses to a critical database table
SECURITY_SIGNING	Audits events that record signing such as signing operations used to validate parts of a SOAP Message for web services
SECURITY_ENCRYPTION	Audits events that record encryption information such as encryption for web services
SECURITY_AUTHN_DELEGATION	Audits events that record delegation, including identity assertion, RunAs, and low assertion. Used when the client identity is propagated or when delegation involves the use of a special identity. This event type is also used when switching user identities within a given session.
SECURITY_AUTHN_CREDS_MODIFY	Audits events to modify credentials for a given user identity
SECURITY_FORM_LOGIN	Audits events of the user being logged in and the remote IP address from which the login is initiated along with the timestamp and the outcome.
SECURITY_FORM_LOGOUT	Audits events of the user being logged out and the remote IP address from which the logout is initiated along with the timestamp and the outcome.

Important: The following security audit event types are not used in this release of WebSphere Application Server:

• SECURITY_MGMT_KEY

• SECURITY_RUNTIME

-outcome
