Install and configure Novell Audit on your system. You must have a functioning Secure Logging Server (lengine) and data store to log Identity Manager events.

The following links provide the information you need to install and configure Novell Audit in your network environment:

Install and configure the Platform Agent.

The Platform Agent (logevent) is the client piece of the Novell auditing architecture. It is automatically installed if either the Novell Identity Manager Metadirectory Server or Novell Identity Manager Connected System option is selected during the Identity Manager install. For more information in installing and configuring the Platform Agent, see Section 3.0, Installing and Configuring the Platform Agent.

Extend the eDirectory™ schema to include the Identity Manager auditing components and register Identity Manager with the Secure Logging Server. For more information, see Section 1.3, Registering Identity Manager with Novell Audit.

Select which Identity Manager events you want to log to Novell Audit. For more information, see Section 4.0, Managing Identity Manager Events.

(Optional) Configure your system notifications.

Novell Audit provides the ability to send a notification when a specific event occurs or does not occur. Notifications can be sent based on any value in one or more events. Notifications can be sent to any logging channel, enabling you to log notifications to a database, a Java^* application or SNMP management system, or several other locations. For details on creating Novell Audit notifications based on Identity Manager events, see Configuring Filters and Event Notifications in the Novell Audit 2.0 Administration Guide.

(Optional) Secure the connection between Identity Manager and the Platform Agent. For more information, see Securing the Connection with Novell Audit.
