5.4 Configuring the Audit Server

The Secure Logging Server manages the flow of information to and from the Novell auditing system. It receives incoming events and requests from the Platform Agents, logs information to the data store, monitors designated events, and provides filtering and notification services. It can also be configured to automatically reset critical system attributes according to a specified policy.

After you make configuration changes to any Novell Audit setting on an audit server, you must restart the audit server.

  1. Log in to iManager.

  2. Select Novell BorderManager > Proxy Services.

  3. Browse to and select the BorderManager server or container that you want to configure, then click OK.

  4. Select Novell Audit in the General section.

  5. Specify the IP address or DNS name of your auditing server:

    Server: The audit logging server you want to use. For failover protection, you can configure up to three servers. By default, the system uses the primary IP address. If you want to use a different server, specify that server’s IP address here.

    Port: The port where the Platform Agents connect to the Secure Logging Server.

  6. Click OK.

  7. Click Apply Changes to save the changes.
