</div>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">What can I do with this system value?</h4><p>In the character-based
interface, you can specify *AUDLVL for the QAUDCTL system value. By specifying
*AUDLVL, you can use any of auditing actions in the QAUDLVL system value.
In addition, you can specify *AUDLVL2 for the QAUDLVL system value. This special
parameter (*AUDLVL2) allows you to specify more auditing actions. If the QAUDLVL
system value does not contain the value *AUDLVL2, then the system ignores
the values in the QAUDLVL2 system value.</p>
<p>In iSeries Navigator, you can select what
actions to audit without differentiating between QAUDLVL2 and QAUDLVL. There
is not a limit on how many actions you can audit. </p>
<p>You can specify several
values for <span class="uicontrol">Activate action auditing</span> (QAUDLVL and QAUDLVL2)
or none (*NONE). Your options include:</p>
<ul><li><img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" /><span class="uicontrol">Attention events (*ATNEVT)</span><p>Use this
option to audit attention events. Attention events are conditions that require
further evaluation to determine the condition's security significance. Use
this option to audit attention events that occur on the system. This option
is available only on systems running i5/OS V5R4 or later.</p>
<img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></li>
<li><span class="uicontrol">Authorization failure (*AUTFAIL)</span> <p>Use this option
to audit unsuccessful attempts to sign on the system and to access objects.
Use authorization failures to regularly monitor users trying to perform unauthorized
functions on the system. You can also use authorization failures to assist
with migration to a higher security level and to test resource security for
a new application.</p>
</li>
<li><span class="uicontrol">Communication and networking tasks (*NETCMN)</span> <p>Use
this option to audit violations detected by the APPN firewall. This value
also audits socket connections, directory search filter and endpoint filter
violations.</p>

validation value failure, or domain violations. Use system integrity violation
to assist with migration to a higher security level or to test a new application.</p>
</li>
<li><span class="uicontrol">System management (*SYSMGT)</span> <p>Use this option
to audit system management activities, such as changing a reply list or the
power-on and -off schedule. Use system management to detect attempts to use
system management functions to circumvent security controls.</p>
</li>
<li><span class="uicontrol">Network base tasks (*NETBAS)</span> <p>Use this option
to audit network base tasks. This option audits transactions on your network
of systems. The following are some example network base tasks that are audited:</p>
<ul><li>Changes to IP rules. For example, if someone creates an IP rule that blocks
traffic into or out of an IP interface, that action is audited.</li>
<li>Audit state changes of a VPN (Virtual Private Network) connection going
up or down. If the connection is up, the VPN connection is usable and communication
between the two systems is protected. If the connection is down, either the
communication is not protected or no communication is allowed at all.</li>

to audit cluster or cluster resource group operations. An iSeries cluster
is a collection or group of one or more servers or logical partitions that
work together as a single server. Servers in a cluster are nodes. A cluster
resource group defines actions to take during a switch over or fail over.
The following are some example network cluster tasks that are audited when
you select this option:</p>
<ul><li>Adding, creating, or deleting a cluster node or cluster resource group
operation</li>
<li>Ending a cluster node or cluster resource group</li>
<li>Automatic failure of a system that switches access to another system</li>
<li>Removing a cluster node or cluster resource group</li>
<li>Starting a cluster node or resource group</li>
<li>Manually switching access from one system to another in a cluster</li>
<li>Updating a cluster node or cluster resource group</li>
</ul>
<p>This option is available only on systems running i5/OS V5R3 or
later.</p>
</li>
<li><span class="uicontrol">Network failure (*NETFAIL)</span> <p>Use this option to
audit network failures. The following are some examples of network failures
that are audited when you select this option:</p>
<ul><li>Trying to connect to a TCP/IP port that does not exist</li>
<li>Trying to send information to a TCP/IP port that is not open or unavailable</li>
</ul>
<p>This option is available only on systems running i5/OS V5R3 or
later.</p>
</li>
<li><span class="uicontrol">Network socket tasks (*NETSCK)</span> <p>Use this option
to audit socket tasks. A socket is an endpoint on a system that is used for
communication. In order for two systems to communicate, they need to connect
to each other's sockets. The following are examples of socket tasks that are
audited when you select this option: </p>
<ul><li>Accepting an inbound TCP/IP socket connection</li>
<li>Establishing an outbound TCP/IP socket connection</li>
<li>Assigning your system an IP address through DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol)</li>
<li>Inability to assign your system an IP address through DHCP because all
of the IP addresses are being used</li>
<li>Filtering mail. For example, when mail is set up to be filtered and a
message meets the criteria to be filtered, that message is audited.</li>
<li>Rejecting mail. For example, when mail is set up to be rejected from a
specific system, all mail attempts from that system are audited.</li>
</ul>
<p>This option is available only on systems running i5/OS V5R3 or
later.</p>
</li>
<li><span class="uicontrol">Security configuration (*SECCFG)</span> <p>Use this option
to audit security configuration. The following are some examples: </p>
<ul><li>Create, change, delete, and restore operations of user profiles</li>
<li>Changing programs (CHGPGM) to adopt the owner's profile</li>
<li>Changing system values, environment variables, and network attributes</li>
<li>Changing subsystem routing</li>
<li>Resetting the security officer (QSECOFR) password to the shipped value
from Dedicated Service Tools (DST)</li>
<li>Requesting the password for the service tools security officer user ID
to be defaulted</li>
<li>Changing the auditing attribute of an object</li>
</ul>
<p>This option is available only on systems running i5/OS V5R3 or
later.</p>
</li>
<li><span class="uicontrol">Security directory services (*SECDIRSRV)</span> <p>Use
this option to audit changes or updates when doing directory service functions.
The directory service function allows users to store files and objects. The
following are some actions performed using the directory service function
that are audited:</p>
<ul><li>Changing audit levels</li>
<li>Changing authorities</li>
<li>Changing passwords</li>
<li>Changing ownerships</li>
<li>Binding and unbinding successfully</li>
</ul>
<p>This option is available only on systems running i5/OS V5R3 or
later.</p>

this option to audit changes to interprocess communications. The following
are some examples:</p>
<ul><li>Changing ownership or authority of an IPC object</li>
<li>Creating, deleting, or retrieving an IPC object</li>
<li>Attaching shared memory</li>
</ul>
<p>This option is available only on systems running i5/OS V5R3 or
later.</p>
</li>
<li><span class="uicontrol">Security network authentication services (*SECNAS)</span> <p>Use
this option to audit network authentication service actions. The following
are some examples: </p>
<ul><li>Service ticket valid</li>
<li>Service principals do not match</li>
<li>Client principals do not match</li>
<li>Ticket IP address mismatch</li>
<li>Decryption of the ticket failed</li>
<li>Decryption of the authenticator failed</li>
<li>Realm is not within client and local realms</li>
<li>Ticket is a replay attempt</li>
<li>Ticket not yet valid</li>
<li>Remote or local IP address mismatch</li>
<li>Decrypt of KRB_AP_PRIV or KRB_AP_SAFE checksum error</li>
<li>KRB_AP_PRIV or KRB_AP_SAFE - time stamp error, replay error, or sequence
order error</li>
<li>GSS accept - expired credentials, checksum error, or channel bindings</li>
<li>GSS unwrap or GSS verify - expired context, decrypt/decode, checksum error,
or sequence error</li>
</ul>
<p>This option is available only on systems running i5/OS V5R3 or
later.</p>
</li>
<li><span class="uicontrol">Security run time tasks (*SECRUN)</span> <p>Use this option
to audit security run time functions. This option audits any actions that
are performed while a program is running. Run time changes occur more frequently
than changes not during run time. The following are some examples:</p>
<ul><li>Changing object ownership</li>
<li>Changing authorization list or object authority</li>
<li>Changing the primary group of an object</li>
</ul>
<p>This option is available only on systems running i5/OS V5R3 or
later.</p>
</li>
<li><span class="uicontrol">Security socket descriptors (*SECSCKD)</span> <p>Use this
option to audit the passing of socket or file descriptors between i5/OS jobs. The
descriptor is a 4-byte integer that points to an entry in a process descriptor
table. This table is a list of all socket and file descriptors that have been
opened by this process. Each entry in this table represents a single socket
or file that this process has opened. The following are some examples:</p>
<ul><li>Giving a socket or file descriptor to another job</li>
<li>Receiving a socket or file descriptor from another job</li>
<li>Inability to receive a socket or file descriptor that was passed to this
job. For example, the job that called the receive message command (recvmsg())
did not have enough authority or was not running the same user profile as
the job that had originally called the send message command (sendmsg()) when
the descriptor was passed.</li>
</ul>
<p>This option is available only on systems running i5/OS V5R3 or
later.</p>
</li>
<li><span class="uicontrol">Security verification (*SECVFY)</span> <p>Use this option
to audit verification functions. The following are some examples:</p>
<ul><li>Changing a target user profile during a pass-through session</li>
<li>Generating a profile handle</li>
<li>Invalidating a profile token</li>
<li>Generating the maximum number of profile tokens</li>
<li>Generating a profile token</li>
<li>Removing all profile tokens for a user</li>
<li>Removing user profile tokens for a user</li>
<li>Authenticating a user profile</li>
<li>Starting or ending work on behalf of another user</li>
</ul>
<p>This option is available only on systems running i5/OS V5R3 or
later.</p>
</li>
<li><span class="uicontrol">Security validation tasks (*SECVLDL)</span> <p>Use this
option to audit validation list objects. A validation list object is used
to store data. The data is encrypted for security reasons. For example, you
may have a validation list that stores user names and passwords that are used
to control access to a Web page. A validation list is used rather than a database
file because the validation list is more secure because it only contains user
names and passwords rather than user profiles. The following are some example
tasks that are audited when this option is selected:</p>
<ul><li>Adding, changing, or removing a validation list entry</li>
<li>Accessing a validation list entry</li>
<li>Successful and unsuccessful verification of a validation list entry</li>
</ul>
<p>This option is available only on systems running i5/OS V5R3 or
later.</p>
</li>
<li><span class="uicontrol">Not available (*NOTAVL)</span> <p>This value is displayed
if the user does not have authority to view the auditing value. You cannot
set the system value to not available (*NOTAVL). This value is only displayed
when a user accessing the system value does not have either All object (*ALLOBJ)
or Audit (*AUDIT) special authority.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> To view this auditing system value, you must have All object (*ALLOBJ)
or Audit (*AUDIT) special authority. If you do not have the required authority,
the Auditing category is not displayed in iSeries Navigator. In addition, if you
access this system value in the character-based interface, a not available
(*NOTAVL) value is displayed.</div>
</div>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Where can I get more information about auditing system values?</h4><p>You
can also learn about these individual auditing system values that are associated
with system level auditing (QAUDCTL):</p>
<ul><li>Activate object auditing (*OBJAUD)</li>
<li>Do not audit objects in QTEMP (*NOQTEMP)</li>
</ul>
<p>To learn more, go to the auditing system values overview topic. If
you are looking for a specific system value or category of system values,
try using the i5/OS system
