Auditing
WebSphere Portal ships an auditing function that allows users to log certain events and their originators into a separate log file. This file can then be used to track administrative activities.
For each event the timestamp, an optional transaction ID, the user performing the action, and individual event details are logged.
You can use the auditing function on the following events:
- Creating, modifying and deleting users and groups
- Creating, modifying and deleting portlet applications by using the portal user interface
- Assigning and revoking roles to and from users
- Modifying role blocks
- Modifying resource ownership
- Creating, modifying and deleting protected resources
- Externalizing and internalizing resources
- Installing and uninstalling Web modules
- Creating and deleting application roles
- Assigning and revoking application roles to and from users
- Adding and deleting roles to application roles
- Initializing a database domain
- Creating, modifying and deleting portlet applications by using IBM Lotus Component Designer.
- Starting and ending impersonating a user or impersonating a user without the appropriate permission
To activate and configure the auditing function, modify the auditing service settings in the Auditing Service using the steps provided in the Setting service configuration properties file.
