The CVR Channel object stores the policy and attribute information the CVR driver needs to reset a given value.
IMPORTANT: You must restart the logging server to effect any changes in Channel object configuration. For more information on restarting the logging server, refer to the Novell® Audit Administration Guide.
The following provides a description of each Channel object attribute:
Item |
Description | |
Configuration |
| |
|
User |
The User object with rights to the CVR Channel object. IMPORTANT: The User object must have directory rights to the attribute that the CVR channel object is configured to reset.
|
|
Password |
The user account password.
|
|
Type |
The type of data the CVR channel can expect as a Reset Value for the attribute designated in the Attribute field. The data type must match the Attribute Syntax defined in the directory schema. Currently, the only supported types are Distinguished Name and String. The Distinguished Name type only supports Distinguished Name syntax. The String type, on the other hand, supports multiple Attribute Syntax options. They include:
NOTE: The Attribute Syntax for a given attribute can be viewed in the eDirectory schema using a directory editing tool such as NDS® Snoop, ConsoleOne®, or iManager.
|
|
Attribute |
The name of the attribute that the CVR driver resets. You must enter the attribute name exactly as it appears in the eDirectory schema. NOTE: You can view the eDirectory schema using a directory editing tool such as NDS Snoop, ConsoleOne, or iManager. The CVR driver scans events' Target and Subtarget fields for matching attributes. When it finds a match, the CVR driver applies the reset policy. For more information on this process, see CVR Channel.
|
|
Reset Value |
The value the CVR Channel driver maintains for a given attribute. IMPORTANT: The CVR Channel driver does not validate the reset value syntax. Therefore, you must ensure the reset value follows the required attribute syntax. For example, if the Attribute Syntax is Telephone Number, then the reset value must be a telephone number.

Click the plus sign Each line defines a separate reset policy. The policies are not accumulative; the CVR driver applies each policy independently. There is no programmed limit to the number of policies that can be added to a CVR object.
|
Status |
By default, all Channel objects are enabled. This means that the logging server loads the Channel object's configuration in memory at startup. IMPORTANT: The Channel object must be located in a supported Channel container for the logging server to use it. See Creating and Configuring Channel Objects for more information. If you select the Disabled option, you must restart the Secure Logging Server for the setting to become effective. Thereafter, the logging server cannot load the object's configuration until you select Enabled.
