Configuring the Secure Logging Server

The Secure Logging Server is the server component in the Novell® auditing system. The Secure Logging Server manages the flow of information to and from the Novell auditing system. It receives incoming events and requests from the Platform Agents; logs information to the data store; monitors designated events; and provides filtering and notification services. It can also be configured to automatically reset critical system attributes according to a specified policy.

The Logging Server object represents the physical server where you have installed the Secure Logging Server. This object is represented as a container with server attributes: it can contain Novell Audit objects, and it stores all the properties and attributes for the Secure Logging Server.

The Logging Server Options task allows you to manually configure the Logging Server object.

NOTE: The Secure Logging Server can also be configured using the Novell Audit Interactive Configuration Guide link on the Summary page of the Logging Server Options task. This guide walks you through an interactive setup of your Secure Logging Server, Log Channels, Notifications, and Log Applications.

To manually configure the Logging Server object:

  1. Click the Roles and Tasks button on the iManager toolbar.

  2. Expand the Auditing and Logging role and select the Logging Server Options task.

  3. Specify the distinguished name of the Secure Logging Server object, then click OK.

  4. Modify the Logging Server attributes.

    The Logging Server Options task page has four configuration tabs:

    IMPORTANT: You must click Apply in each tab to save your changes.

  5. When finished, click OK.
