EVT_AUDIT_AUTHORIZATION_PREFIX

public static final String EVT_AUDIT_AUTHORIZATION_PREFIX

See Also:

Constant Field Values

AUDIT_ID

public static final String AUDIT_ID

Defines the ID of each event. By authentication events this is the type of authentication. By authorization ones, it is the same as the TDI Object name, on which authorization takes part. The two exceptions are: custom invocation of java code, where the event id is represented by the TDI server id and the name of the object is the method name; deleting tombstones using GUID - the event ID is the GUID itself.The value for the event id could be: TDI Server ID, ConfigInstance ID, Assembly Line name. If an AL name can be determined for the event, then it is stored, otherwise a Config Instance ID is used. In case this is also not possible, then the TDI server ID is provided as event ID.

AUDIT_CONFIG

public static final String AUDIT_CONFIG

See Also:

Constant Field Values

AUDIT_NAME

public static final String AUDIT_NAME

Defines the name of the Attribute filled in with the name of the TDI object on which the event takes place. The value could contain: the TDI Server name, the ConfigInstance ID, or the AssemblyLine name). Two special cases are the invocation of custom java code, where the name of the method is passed as value, and the deletion of tombstones using GUID. In this case the parameter stores the GUID.

Method Detail

sendAuthenticationAuditData

public static void sendAuthenticationAuditData(String userID,
                                               boolean isSuccessful,
                                               String authenticationType)

The method adds specific authentication audit information in a TDI Entry's Attributes and sends this information as Notification using the leveraged notification mechanism in TDI. It is called from every authentication point in the server API code, where auditing is wanted.

Parameters:

userID - Defines the name of the TDI user, who has caused the event.

isSuccessful - Defines the result of the auth* event.

authenticationType - Defines the type of authentication.

sendSessionAuditData

public static void sendSessionAuditData(String userID,
                                        String path,
                                        String tdiObjectName,
                                        boolean isSuccessful,
                                        String authorizationClass,
                                        String authorizationMethod,
                                        String eventID,
                                        String eventConfigInstanceId)

The method adds specific audit information in a TDI Entry's Attributes and sends this information as Notification using the leveraged notification mechanism in TDI. It is called from every point in the server API code, where auditing is wanted.

Parameters:

userID - Defines the name of the TDI user, who has caused the event.

path - Stores the physical path to the TDI instance (e.g. path to the config file). By invocation of custom java code the name of the class is set as path.

tdiObjectName - Presents the name of the TDI object, on which the event takes place. The value could be one of the following: TDI Server ID, ConfigInstance ID, AL Name or java method (by custom invocations).

isSuccessful - Expects the result of the auth* event.

authorizationClass - Defines the interface name for the class, where the authorization event takes place.

authorizationMethod - Stores the name of the method, where the authorization takes place.

eventID - Specifies an ID to the audit notification. The field is similar to the tdiObjectName parameter.

eventConfigInstanceId - Gives the ID of the ConfigInstance, on which the authorization event is performed. Takes null, if no such ID can be assigned.
