Enabling External Auditing

When you create an Audit File object for external auditing, AUDITCON enables the external audit trail. This Audit File object remains in place when you disable auditing, and can be re-enabled as follows.

Prerequisites

• See the General Prerequisites.
• You must have Write (or Supervisor) object rights to the Audit Policy object of the external audit trail's Audit File object.

Procedure

1. Run AUDITCON at a trusted workstation.

2. Choose the desired external audit trail to be audited, as described in Create External Audit Trail.

3. To enable auditing of the external audit trail, choose the Enable external auditing option in the Available audit options menu.

   This option appears only when auditing is not already enabled for the external audit trail.

4. Choose Yes to re-enable auditing when AUDITCON asks you to confirm that you want to enable auditing for the current external audit trail.

   AUDITCON will display menu 2101.
