C.7 Testing the MySQL Channel Configuration

You can test the MySQL channel configuration as follows:

  1. In iManager, click Auditing and Logging > Logging Server Options.

  2. In the Secure Logging Server Name field, browse to and select the Secure Logging Server; then click OK.

  3. In the General tab, click Configuration.

    If you are using a Mozilla browser, select Configuration from the drop-down menu.

  4. In the Log Channel field, browse to and select the MySQL channel object that you just created in the Log Channel field. For example, mysql.Channels.Logging Services.

  5. Click Apply.

  6. (Conditional) On NetWare®, test the configuration:

    1. At the server console, load lengine -d .

      If the Nsure Audit console loads, then everything is configured correctly.

    2. If it does not load, check the logger screen on the NetWare server for error messages. Use the error messages to troubleshoot the configuration.

  7. (Conditional) On Linux or Solaris, test the configuration:

    1. As user root from the Linux shell, type /etc/init.d/novell-naudit restart.

      From the Solaris shell, type /etc/init.d/naudit .

    2. Wait a few moments and type ps -AH |grep lengine .

      If lengine is listed (which it should be a few times), then the Secure Logging Server is configured correctly. If a problem occurs during the configuration, error messages appear on the server console. Use the error messages to troubleshoot the configuration.

  8. (Conditional) On Windows, test the configuration:

    1. Click Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services.

    2. Right-click the Nsure Audit Manager service, and click Restart.

    3. Mouse over the Nsure Audit icon in the system tray; if the icon remains loaded and displayed, the Secure Logging Server is configured correctly.

    4. If you suspect that the Secure Logging Server might not be configured correctly, open the debug display by pressing Shift and then clicking the Nsure Audit icon.

      Use the messages to troubleshoot the configuration. When you close the debug display, the Audit Manager service is also shut down. You then need to restart the Audit Manager service to launch the Secure Logging Server.
