6.1 Overview

Applications that log to or request information from Nsure Audit are represented in Novell eDirectory™ by an Application object. Application objects store the information the logging server needs to authenticate logging applications.

NOTE:For more information on the authentication process, see Section 10.1, Authenticating Logging Applications.

In addition to facilitating system authentication and monitoring, Application objects store the application's log schema. The log schema catalogs the events that can be logged for a given application. For more information, see Section A.4, Log Schema Files.
