HFM Security Audit

Hi ,
Is there any process to get Security audit report (need a report like User's and their corresponding Security class and Groups for HFM,FDM and FR ) Each month.
Thanks,
Mo

Could you be more specific please? There are many reports throughout the products that provide different types of security information. This also varies by release. Please tell us what version you are using and what information you need and we can help.
Separately, I will be presenting Security and Auditing in HFM at Kaleidoscope the end of June in Long Beach, CA. At that time I'll go into detail on how to set up security and how to report on that. It will be a great conference with lots of good content, including this.

Monitoring HFM security

I am using Hyperion 11.1.2.1. and want to monitor some HFM security.
Is there any way we can find that :
how many number of users are currently accessing a particular HFM Application and can identify them with their user-details and login-details whenever required ?
how many number of users are currently accessing the whole HFM Application(Schema) and can identify them with their user-details and login-details whenever required ?
-----Sunny

Hi Sunny,
As the subject was about HFM Security i have given you the query or details which i was aware about HFM.
1.I mean to say for the tables i have listed in the query there are other columns as well so if you want to get more details then you can select which are all the columns you would require and add them accordingly in the query.
2.Yeah its possible to get the details about user connected to application even. here is the query you need to change for this as below
select h.sservername,h.sappname,s.susername,to_char((to_date('01/1900','MM/YYYY')+h.dstarttime-2),'DD/MM/YYYY hh24:mi:ss'),h.lactivitycode,h.sactivitydesc
from hsv_users_on_system h,hsv_activity_users s
where h.luserid in s.luserid
order by sservername
Also as you were asking for Historical/past login times & details here is the below query which will help you in analysing the things better with activity they did and time they logged in and carried out activity.
select g.servername,g.appname,to_char((to_date('01/1900','MM/YYYY')+g.starttime-2),'DD/MM/YYYY hh24:mi:ss'),to_char((to_date('01/1900','MM/YYYY')+g.endtime-2),'DD/MM/YYYY hh24:mi:ss'),g.strdescription,s.susername
from Appname_task_audit g,hsv_activity_users s
where g.activityuserid in s.luserid (optional if you want to search excluding admin id then you can add this line to existing query at the end [and s.susername not like '%admin%'])
As the audit logs are specific to applications you need to replace "appname" in the query with your application name for which you wanted to check audit.
Ex: if your application name is abcd then your query should be something like this
select g.servername,g.appname,to_char((to_date('01/1900','MM/YYYY')+g.starttime-2),'DD/MM/YYYY hh24:mi:ss'),to_char((to_date('01/1900','MM/YYYY')+g.endtime-2),'DD/MM/YYYY hh24:mi:ss'),g.strdescription,s.susername
from abcd_task_audit g,hsv_activity_users s
where g.activityuserid in s.luserid (optional if you want to search excluding admin id/any specific user then you can add this line/change existing query at the end [and s.susername not like '%admin%'])
Hope this helps !!!!
Thanks

How to schedule a batch job to generate security audit log (SM20)

May be this is a repeat question for this forum. Apologize, if it is. Is there a way to schedule a batch job to generate security audit log (SM20) automatically and possibly send a message to SAP Inbox or generate a spool request? Release is 4.6C.
Regards
Nirmal

> May be this is a repeat question for this forum. Apologize, if it is.
You don't need to apologize. You only need to do a very simple search...
> Total Questions: 18 (16 unresolved)
Perhaps 16 of those 18 questions you have not followed up on could have been spared as well?
Please do the needfull.

Multiple security audit failures a second

A client's SBS 2011 machine is experiencing multiple audit failures a second and we believe it is diminishing the performance of the machine. We can't seem to find the source or how to remedy the issue. It its happening way too fast to be a human trying
to login.

Hi Jerry,
Windows logs logon type 3 in most cases when you access a computer from elsewhere on the network. This is usually
related to share folders, printers, IIS and so on.
Would you please let me confirm whether you had installed some third-party applications?
Meanwhile, please refer to Robert’s suggestion in the following similar thread and check if can help you.

Failure - Event 4625
If any update, please feel free to let me know.
Hope this helps.

"logon time" between USR41 and security audit log

Dear colleagues,
I got a following question from customer for security audit reason.
> 'Logon date' and 'Logon time' values stored in table USR41 are exactly same as
> logon history of Security Audit Log(Tr-cd:SM20)?
Table:USR41 saves 'logon date' and 'logon time' when user logs on to SAP System from SAP GUI.
And the Security Audit Log(Tr-cd:SM20) can save user's logon history;
at the time when user logged on, the security audit log is recorded .
I tried to check SAP GUI logon program:SAPMSYST several ways, however,
I could not check it because the program is protected even for read access.
I want to know about specification of "logon time" between USR41 and security audit log,
or about how to look into the program:SAPMSYST and debug it.
Thank you.
Best Regards.

Hi,
If you configure Security Audit you can achieve your goals...
1-Audit the employees how access the screens, tables, data...etc
Answer : Option 1 & 3
2-Audit all changes by all users to the data
Answer : Option 1 & 3
3-Keep the data up to one month
Answer: No such settings, but you can define maximum log size.
4-Log retention period can be defined.
Answer: No !.. but you can define maximum log size.
SM19/SM20 Options:
1-Dialog logon
You can check how many users logged in and at what time
2-RFC login/call
Same as above you can check RFC logins
3-Transaction/report start
You can see which report or transaction are executed and at what time
(It will help you to analyise unauthorized data change. Transactions/report can give you an idea, what data has been changed. So you can see who changed the data)
4-User master change
(You can see user master changes log with this option)
5-System/Other events
(System error can be logged using this option)
Hope, it clear the things...
Regards.

HFM Security Issue - User can submit a journal by by-passing the approval step even though they are not an admin.

Hi All,
I was wondering if anyone could help me with a HFM security issue on HFM 11.1.2.3 we are facing please?
The problem is that a user can by-pass the journal approval stage and post directly after submitting if Custom4 access control=All is selected.
If any of the other access controls (None, Read, Promote) for custom 4 are selected, the first two steps of the process are possible -
input and approval of the journal are possible but final posting of the journal is not and returns an error that says:
"User does not have the access right to perform this journal task"
The options I have thought for a workaround are as follows:
1.       1. Set up a 3rd user called data poster and remove submit journal role from user 1 (data inputter)
2.       2. Put in place process control and use the various review levels (could be quite time consuming given there is no time left for development)
Have anyone experienced this before and come up with a quick way of resolving this please? It would be very much appreciated.
We have two types of users who are associated with groups in HFM and have the appropriate roles assigned to them to complete their tasks,
they are:
1. A data Inputter (who inputs base data and journals, who has access to create and submit journals)
2.   2. A data reviewer (who approves journals)
The process is as follows:
1.       1. Logon as Data inputter to submit the journals
2.       2. Logon as Data reviewer to approve the journals
3.       3. Logon as Data inputter to post the Journals
We are using the custom 4 member to identify different adjustment types. At the moment we are able to set it up in such a way whereby Steps 1 and 2 can be completed
but once it comes back to step 3, we get an error as follows:
"User does not have the access right to perform this journal task"
(This error comes about when the access control on custom 4 is set to None, Read, Promote)
Custom 4 Access Rights looks as follows:
C4_ADJ01
C4_ADJ02
C4_ADJ03
C4_ADJ04
HFMDefault

When Custom 4=C4_ADJ01 all 3 steps can be completed but it by-passes step 2 (journal approval).
For all other Custom 4 we complete steps 1 and 2 successfully but not step 3 due to access issues.
Roles for the groups that users assigned look like the following:
Test User Name

Getting the name of the program or the FM called from security audit log

Dears,
Is there a way to get the name of the ABAP program called through transaction SE38, or the FM called through transaction SE37, from the security audit log ?
What is available is only : RSABAPPROGRAM for transaction SE38, and RSFUNCTIONBUILDER for transaction SE37
Thanks.
Reda

I had always assumed this log to be in the SUBMIT statement, but never used it.
If I remember correctly this is recorded it the runtime submit, so it should be there.
Perhaps it is only in selected reports? I will check in my system.
Please compare with sm20n and run the report from sa38. The submits are different in sa38 etc compared to se38.
The FM will only be recorded it it has a destination extention in the source system which is mostly remote. Local fm calls are not recorded for sure.
Cheers,
Julius

Solaris 10 with Trusted Extensions - Security Audit Events [short] Descript

{color:#000000}I know that the security audit events and classes in Solaris 10 have changed when viewing these files: audit_class, audit_event, and audit_control with that of the same files for TSOL8. In order to perform an accurate and acceptable review of the audit events, I need to find either a file or document that provides a short description for each of the audit events within each audit class. Can anyone point me in the right direction or a URL? I have tried to search through the Sun docs and have not yielded any results. {color}

been there, done that
The problem is a function of your network definitions. The non-global zones do not have an IP address to match for your global zonename. The error message results from the system established default of the DISPLAY variable failing (DISPLAY=globalzonename:0.0).
To confirm this, login to the global zone as root and "zlogin -S" to the non-global zone. Once there, the command "netstat -r" should show the IP address of the global zone instead of the expected global zonename. (combine this with a look at your output for "ifconfig -a" within the same non-global zones) Another command you should fail with will be the "getent hosts galaxy". Anyway, if you manually set your DISPLAY variable to the "IP Address" of the globalzonename and execute a "dtterm" ... it should work fine.
If it does not violate a security policy, I suggest you add the IP address of the global zone to either the /etc/inet/hosts or /etc/inet/ipnodes file within each non-global zone.

In which table can I find security audit settings from SM19?

Hello everybody,
I'd like to give certain users access to the security audit settings that we defined in SM19. They are supposed to be able to read them but not change anything. I've experimented a bit with SM19 authorizations and figured out that a read-only access to SM19 is possible if I deactivate S_C_FUNCT. The problem is that the aforementioned users already have complete access to S_C_FUNCT and are supposed to keep it. The also have AUDD and AUDA in S_ADMI_FCD. Ergo: If I just add the S_TCODE for SM19 they'd be able to change security audit settings and I don't want to allow that.
Does anybody know the table where SM19 saves its settings? Maybe I could grant read-only access to that table via SM30 or SE16...
Looking forward to your answers!
Kind regards
Mario

Hi Mario,
Restrict access for table RSAUPROF , It should do!!!

CCMS and Security Audit log

I have seen a huge number of companies who do not use SM19/SM20 or RZ20. It is not configured. example I worked for 3 clients(user base 14000, 16000,1000) and none of them have this configuration.
Do you know why is it so if it is not configured at your place.
Thanks
Edited by: Pankaj Jain on Sep 26, 2009 7:02 PM

Performance impact is dependent on the Hardware sizing and the daily monitoring activities together with the back up schedule by the BASIS team.
My experience is: I have seen maximum of clients using this for logging activities of ALL users in the system. In other few cases, it is restricted to Super and Special users.
Please go through the document: [Security Audit Log|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/2088d9d4-e011-2a10-bba9-90548dbc2d6a&overridelayout=true] (it's a bit Old)

Security Audit Log SM19 and Log Management external tool

Hi all,
we are connecting a SAP ECC system with a third part product for log management.
Our SAP system is composed by many application servers.
We have connected the external tool with the SAP central system.
The external product gathers data from SAP Security Audit Log (SM19/SM20).
The problem is that we see, in the external tool, only the data available in the central system.
The mandatory parameters have been activated and the system has been restarted.
The strategy of SAP Security Audit Log is to create many audit log file for each application server. Probably, only when SM20 is started, all audit files from all application servers are read and collected.
In our scenario, we do not use SM20 since we want read the collected data in the external tool.
Is there a job to be scheduled (or something else) in order to have all Security Audit Log available (from all application servers) in the central instance ?
Thanks in advance.
Andrea Cavalleri

I am always amazed at these questions...
For one, SAP provides an example report ( RSAU_READ_AUDITLOG_EXTERNAL ) to use BAPIs for alerts from the audit log yet 3rd party solutions seem to be alergic to using APIs for some reason.
However, mainly I do not understand why people don't use the CCMS (tcode RZ20) security templates and monitor the log centrally from SolMan. You can do a million cool things in SolMan... but no...
Cheers,
Julius

Weu0092d like to get Custom reports. The base of reports is Security Audit Log

Wed like to get Custom reports. The base of reports is Security Audit Log files. This is files for SM20.
What does the file structure look like? What is field of it?
Thanks!

Hello Marina
The data written to the security audit log correspond to the DDIC structures RSLGENTR (up to release 4.6) and RSAUENTR2 (in newer releases). DDIC structures can be viewed using TA SE11 (data type).
As I can see you have already opened a thread regarding this. Please don't duplicate the threads, as this only widespreads the information.
