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 Logging Server object in the directory tree, or click the Object History button to select the Logging Server object from a list of objects selected during this iManager session.

 

Configuration

 

 

Driver Directory

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

The default locations for the channel drivers, by platform, are as follows:

  • sys:\system (NetWare)

  • \program files\novell\naudit\ (Windows)
  • /usr/local/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 Logging Server object in the directory tree, or click the Object History button to select the Logging Server object from a list of objects selected during this iManager session.

 

 

Secure Logging Certificate File

The path and filename for the Logging Server Certificate.

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

NOTE: Nsure Audit only recognizes certificates that are generated with the AudCGen utility. For information on generating custom certificates, see “AudCGen” in the Novell Nsure Audit Administration Guide.

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

IMPORTANT: All Logging Application Certificates must be signed by the Logging Server Certificate. For information on generating and signing Logging Application Certificates, refer to the Novell Nsure Audit Administration Guide.

For general information on how certificates are used in Nsure Audit, refer to the Novell Nsure 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 the Nsure Audit program’s embedded certificates.

IMPORTANT: Nsure Audit only recognizes certificates and private keys that are generated with the AudCGen utility. For more information, see “AudCGen” in the Novell Nsure Audit Administration Guide.
