Re: ADAM Security Logging

Hi

I do not think that the Field Engineering event log entries will populate
the User column of the ADAM instance event log for a native ADAM
user - I think they need a windows security principal (context) for that.

To get a security log audit when a native ADAM user connects to
an instance you need "Audit account logon events" enabled in
the server security policy of the server housing the instance.
However you would then have to try and correlate those entries
to the Field Engineering logging.

Beyond that options are directory services audit by setting a SACL
but that would audit all accesses with no regard to thresholds and
off the top of my head I cannot recall the status of audit for native
ADAM users.


Further input from me will likely be delayed due to holidays,

The applications in our location that use our ADAM directories should
return a limited number (less than 20) of entries per query. We would
like to log every query that exceeds that amount. By changing the
Field Engineering Diagnostics setting to 5 and adding a Expensive
Search Results Threshold Parameter, I was able to log the query
information. This works great when an AD account ran the query, since
the account shows up next to User: in the log entry. Unfortunately,
no user information appears when the query is ran using an ADAM
account. I tried changing different parameters to get the login/
binding information to appear in the Event Logs with no luck. Is
there a special parameter that I need to add to create a log entry
whenever someone authenticates to an ADAM directory with an ADAM
account? Is there some other way to determine who submitted the query?
