Logging Server Options - Configuration

Item

Description

Identification

 

 

Host Server

The distinguished name of the NCP Server object associated with the current logging server.

Click the Object Selector button to select the Host Server object in the tree.

 

Configuration

 

 

Secure Logging Server Port

The port used to connect to the Secure Logging Server. The default port is 289.

 

  Secure Communication Indicates the Secure Logging Server can communicate over an SSL connection. If this option is selected and the Secure Logging Server is configured to use SSL, the Platform Agents are allowed to connect to the Secure Logging Server in SSL mode.

You must restart the Secure Logging Server to implement this setting.

 

 

Driver Directory

The directory in which the channel drivers (lgd*) are located.

The default channel driver directories are as follows:

  • sys:\system\ (NetWare®)

  • \program files\novell\nsure audit\ (Windows*)

  • /opt/novell/naudit/ (Linux*)

  • /opt/NOVLnaudit/ (Solaris*)

 

 

Log Channel

The Channel object the logging server uses to create the central data store.

Click the Object Selector button to select the Channel object in the tree.

 

 

Secure Logging Certificate File

The path and filename for the Logging Server Certificate.

This attribute enables the logging server to use a custom certificate. If this field is left blank, the logging server uses the default embedded certificate.

Novell Audit uses certificates to authenticate client connections. The logging server accepts connections only from applications that have a valid Logging Application Certificate.

For general information on how certificates are used in Novell Audit, refer to the Novell Audit Administration Guide.

 

 

Secure Logging PrivateKey File

The path and filename for the Secure Logging Certificate's private key file.

If this field is left blank, the logging server assumes the private key is included with the certificate and uses the path and filename for the Secure Logging Certificate.

Again, this is only required if you do not use Novell Audit's embedded certificates.

 

 

Sign Events

The signature setting for Platform Agent events. If this option is selected, the Platform Agent digitally signs all logged events and sequentially chains them.

This option provides a convenient way to centrally manage Platform Agents from the Secure Logging Server.

IMPORTANT: This option is implemented only if the LogSigned setting in the Platform Agent's logevent.cfg file is set to Server. For more information on the logevent.cfg file, see "Logevent" in the Novell Audit Administration Guide.

 

 

Log Debug Events

The Platform Agent debug setting. If this option is selected, the Platform Agent always logs debug events.

This option provides a convenient way to centrally manage Platform Agents from the Secure Logging Server.

IMPORTANT: This option is implemented only if the LogDebug setting in the Platform Agent's logevent.cfg file is set to Server. For more information on the logevent.cfg file, see "Logevent" in the Novell Audit Administration Guide.
