Console Security Log

What happened to the Security log in Console? It doesn't seem to exist in ML. I've upgraded from 10.6.8 to 10.8.5. I would like to see who logs in, and when, on this Mac. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

SIGH! This isn't the answer I wanted! Sadly, after already doing a lot of poking around in Console I had reached the same conclusion. I was just hoping I was wrong. Thank you Bob.

System and security logs

1. Login, Clear Logs and log off events in Windows 2003 when does this happen and what are the IDs for
these events ? what is the system login?
2. In an event when administrator account and password are shared by more than one person, is it is possible
to prove who cleared the security logs?
3. If there is no keyboard monitoring is there a way to prove from which PC the delete came from?
4. Can a schedule a task be run in advance to delete the security logs at a later point of time in Window
2003 using utilities like WMI, powershell etc?
5. In Windows 2003 servers, Microsoft allows 2 remote connections and 1 console session also called session
0. What is session 0 ans when is this launched?
6. Can security and the system logs on the server be deleted remotely from any other server in
windows 2003 if the account has admin rights? Please comment if firewall setting needs to be enabled in window 2003.

System, Firewall,Secure logs

I need some help with trying to understand the logs and whether they can be safely deleted. The only problem is I am unable to figure out what these logs do or how to delete them. Some are labeled some what oddly. I have run the maintenance scripts, but have no idea how to tell if they are working.
I would like to clean up the logs that are using disk space. Some are rather large, but none are over 2.2mb

When I click on the logs in the console the trash icon is greyed out. Some of the logs light the trash icon up. Any advice or help would be appreciated.

AFAICT, you can't delete any listed one via the Console app because the belong to the system. Leave them be, they'll get removed when appropriate by the daily maintenance script, if your machine is awake overnight. If not, run this command in the Terminal app:
*sudo periodic daily*

Wrt160n security log

I have the wrt160n ver 2, and I noticed that after enableing logs it does not show the log in of the console when I select the security log section.

When you click on "View Log" and select incoming Log does it display you any log listed in it. Security Log will only Displays a temporary log of packets that have been dropped by the firewall. If your firewall hasnt droped on any packets then i wont display you anything listed under.

Secure Log?

I know this topic has been somewhat discussed before I did not see anything that directly relates to my issue. My issue is that when I open Console and scroll down to the Secure.log they are grayed out. Yet I am the administrator and I am logged into the Admin account. I checked NetInfo Manager and my account, along with root, is a member of the admin group. So why is log grayed out??
Thanks,
William

That log file is grayed out because the permissions on it are set to allow only root to read the file; this is why it is given the name secure.log. If you change the ownership on it, it won't be as secure. If the logs are rotated by the cron tasks, the newly created secure.log file will allow administrator accounts to read it; this change is reversed when the Repair Permissions command is run. The file's contents mostly contain a record of who logged in when and what rights were requested at a given time.

Only one Server Audit can write to Security Log

Hi,
I have a problem when i want to enable a
second audit server to security log...
Permissions are right, the first Audit Server works fine but when i enable the second i have the 33204 error.
(SQL Server Audit could not write to the security log.) its strange...
I used Process Monitor tool from Sysinternals to debug the ACCESS on the Registry Key HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\EventLog\Security but there is not difference when i enable the first Audit Server or the second...
I am not the only person who has this issue, i see that in other places...
Can you help me?
Thanks!
Regads.

Have you granted access to the new service account via secpol? This may be the root cause for this problem. For the detailed instructions please visit:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc645889.aspx.
BTW. I would strongly recommend using secpol.msc to manage the local security policy instead of modifying the registry keys directly.
Please let us know if this information helped

The IP address that appears in source network address all belong to VPN clients. And it looks like its only happening with 4-5 IPs, all of which are VPN clients. These clients shouldn't be connecting to anything on this server, which is why its puzzling.
Our DC is Windows 2008 and the VPN server is another member server on the domain. I suspect the issue is at the client PCs since there are many other VPN clients connected that don't generate the event ID.
Can anyone tell what the issue might be?
Thanks.

Hi Rayminette,
There are multiple login sources that could possibly be generating the errors:
FTP logins - check your FTP log to see if login failures are showing up at the same time.
Logins via Basic Authentication over http or https (simple, but possibly dangerous, way to password-protect a web site).
ASP scripts.
This logon type 8 indicates a network logon like logon type 3 but where the password was sent over the network in the clear text. Windows server doesn’t allow connection to shared file or printers with clear text authentication. The only situation
I’m aware of are logons from within an ASP script using the ADVAPI or when a user logs on to IIS using IIS’s basic authentication mode. In both cases the logon process in the event’s description will list advapi. Basic authentication is only dangerous
if it isn’t wrapped inside an SSL session (i.e. https). As far as logons generated by an ASP, script remember that embedding passwords in source code is a bad practice for maintenance purposes as well as the risk that someone malicious will view the source
code and thereby gain the password.
Reference from:
What is the source of thousands of 4625 Logon Failure errors with Logon Type 8 (NetworkCleartext)?
I hope this helps.

Firefox will not open a new, secure log-in page, on my bank's site

My Bank's website opens a new, secure, log in page from a link on its home page. When I click on this link to do so, nothing happens. No window opens and Firefox does not give any messages as to why. It used to work, but has stopped in the last couple of months. I don't know if it something in my settings or not. I also use the Flock browser - which is based on the Mozilla code and the link works in this browser. Settings in both browsers appear to be the same.
== URL of affected sites ==
http://banksa.com.au

I get the login window in Firefox.
It uses javascript to open the window. Try hitting control-F5 - that will reload all the scripts in case one is corrupt in the cache.
Do you have any add-ons that might block scripts? Adblock Plus, No Script, ...
If so try disabling them.

Permission Report (secure.log & ALRHelperJobs)

Hi, I usually ignore permission reports since after I repair them I get "Permissions repair complete". First, does "Permissions repair complete" mean they were repaired or not?
But I would most importantly like you insight on the following:
Permissions differ on "private/var/log/secure.log", should be -rw------- , they are -rw-r----- .
Permissions differ on "Library/Application Support/Apple/ParentalControls/ALRHelperJobs", should be drwxrwxr-x , they are drwxr-xr-x .
thanks!

Hello,
Run Disk Utility one more time and Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished, make sure at the end of the report it says: Permissions repair complete Then you're good to go! All done.

802.1x WLAN auth not showing client ip in win 2008 AD security log

Hello.
I have a ongoing project configuring a cisco wlan with 802.1x, where microsoft network policy server is used for radius authentication.
Configuring the SSID on the WLC, and the 802.1x on wlc/radius server works fine, users type in their username and password on a smartphone/ipad etc and get access to the network.
The problem im facing is that I want to log the clients ip-address on the radius-server security log, so I can use cisco active directory agent to find the ip against username mapping in ironport.
The active directory agent checks the domain controllers security log to see what ip-address belongs to which user. In this scenario the user is mapped to the wlc ip, not the smartphone/ipad. The result is a lot of users mapped to the wlc ip-address, and the logs in cisco ADA/ironport is worthless.
Is there any way to configure wlc/802.1x to send the actual client ip-address to the authentication server, and not the WLC?

Please configure radius accounting on the WLC to have the required logs on the NPS server.
On the WLC, make sure we have radius accounting server configured under security > AAA > radius > accounting
After that Go to WLAN, edit the WLAN > security > AAA server and enable radius accounting.
