K. Operation Log Output

The JP1/Base operation log provides a history of output log information for operations performed on the authentication server. This log records what operation was performed, when it was performed, and who performed it. The operation log is useful for investigating security problems that might occur on the authentication server, such as unauthorized operation. The log also collects information used to safely operate the system.

When JP1 user account or operating permission information (a resource managed by JP1/Base) is added, changed, or deleted, the altered information is output to the JP1/Base operation log. For example, if a JP1 user password was changed, information on which JP1 user password was changed, when it was changed, and the OS user who changed it, is output to the operation log. Information on the startup and shutdown of the authentication server is also output.

At the initial settings, output to the operation log is disabled.

The operation log is a CSV text file. You can periodically save the operation log, and edit the saved log with a spreadsheet program to use it for an analysis.

In this case, if you use JP1/Audit to collect data that is output to the operation log, you can centrally manage the collected data.

This appendix describes what information can be output to the operation log, and how to specify JP1/Base for operation log output.
