How to Audit Enterprise Single Sign-On

  • Article

Use this command to set both the positive and negative auditing levels. Single Sign-On (SSO) administrators can set the positive and negative audit levels that suit their corporate policies. You can set positive and negative audits to one of the following levels:

  • 0 = None

  • 1 = Low

  • 2 = Medium

  • 3 = High - This level issues as many audit messages as possible.

    The default value for positive auditing is 0 (none), and the default value for negative auditing is 1(low).

    To change the database-level auditing, you must update the Credential database using an XML file. The following is an example XML file that is used for updating the Credential database:

<sso>  
<globalnfo>  
<auditDeletedApps>1000</auditDeletedApps>  
<auditDeletedMappings>1000</auditDeletedMappings>  
<auditCredentialLookups>1000</auditCredentialLookups>  
</globalInfo>  
</sso>
