|
|
<div><p>Use this information to plan security auditing for your systems.</p>
|
|
<div class="p">When monitoring your security, the operating system can log security events
|
|
which occur on your system. These events are recorded in special system objects
|
|
called journal receivers. You can set up journal receivers to record different
|
|
types of security events, such as changing a system value or user profile,
|
|
or an unsuccessful attempt to access an object. The following values control
|
|
which events are logged:<ul><li>The audit control (QAUDCTL) system value</li>
|
|
<li>The audit level (QAUDLVL) system value</li>
|
|
<li>The audit level (AUDLVL) value in user profiles</li>
|
|
<li>The object auditing (OBJAUD) value in user profiles and objects</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
The information in the audit journals is used:<ul><li>To detect attempted security violations.</li>
|
|
<li>To plan migration to a higher security level.</li>
|
|
<li>To monitor the use of sensitive objects, such as confidential files.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<p>Commands are available to view the information in the audit journals in
|
|
different ways.</p>
|
|
<p>The purpose of an audit is to detect and log activities that might compromise
|
|
the security of your system. When you choose to log actions that occur on
|
|
your systems, you might experience a trade-off in performance and, in some
|
|
cases, loss of disk space. If you decide to log security-related events on
|
|
your systems, the <a href="../icbase/secplanr/securwiz.htm" target="_blank">eServer™ Security
|
|
Planner</a> will provide some recommendations about what level of auditing
|
|
you should do.</p>
|
|
<div class="p">To plan the use of security auditing on your system, follow these steps:<ul><li>Use the eServer Security
|
|
Planner to see what it recommends about what level of auditing you should
|
|
do based on your system configuration and user requirements.</li>
|
|
<li>Determine which security-relevant events you want to record for all system
|
|
users. The auditing of security-relevant events is called <span class="uicontrol">action
|
|
auditing</span>.</li>
|
|
<li>Check whether you need additional auditing for specific users.</li>
|
|
<li>Decide whether you want to audit the use of specific objects on the system.</li>
|
|
<li>Determine whether object auditing should be used for all users or specific
|
|
users.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<p>The security audit journal is the primary source of auditing information
|
|
on the system. A security auditor inside or outside your organization can
|
|
use the auditing function provided by the system to gather information about
|
|
security-related events that occur on the system. You use system values, user
|
|
profile parameters, and object parameters to define auditing.</p>
|
|
<p>The security auditing function is optional. You must take specific steps
|
|
to set up security auditing.</p>
|
|
<div class="p">You can define auditing on your system at three different levels: <ul><li>System-wide auditing that occurs for all users.</li>
|
|
<li>Auditing that occurs for specific objects.</li>
|
|
<li>Auditing that occurs for specific users.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<p>When a security-related event that may be audited occurs, the system checks
|
|
whether you have selected that event for audit. If you have, the system writes
|
|
a journal entry in the current receiver for the security auditing journal
|
|
(QAUDJRN in library QSYS).</p>
|
|
<p>For information on planning the auditing of actions and auditing of object
|
|
access, see Chapter 9 of the <a href="../rzahg/rzahgsecref.htm">iSeries™ Security Reference</a>.</p>
