Security audit question

Hi,
I've just implemented IdentityAsserter & Transformer, all seems to work really well. However, one of the things I'd like to do is to log who is trying to make an invalid connection. This doesn't seem possible with the current implementation, as all that is passed into my code is a user defined token and a service.
During the assertIdentity method is there a way getting hold of the connecting client details (ip would be the main thing)?
Cheers
Rich

Mlike,
This requirement is strange. Anyone with ALTER USER privilege can alter any user including SYS!
Apart from that: when you enable the parameter audit_sys_operations and set it to true, all statements in a SYSDBA action are dumped to an ASCII file on the O/S
You could read those using the external table facility.

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

You don't need to apologize. You only need to do a very simple search...

Perhaps 16 of those 18 questions you have not followed up on could have been spared as well?
Please do the needfull.

"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.

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...

Performance issue of Security Audit log

Hello,
My client would like to activate the Security Audit log on his system. However he will like to know whether there could be any performance issue when activating it. Since I do not have any prior experience, can you please give me your general feedback on this subject. Have any of you experience performance issue when implementing security audit log and what can be done to minimize its effect?

Hai,
Activating Security Audit logs will not affect the performance of your SAP system. Since SAP Systems maintain their audit logs on a daily basis. The system does not delete or overwrite audit files from previous days; it keeps them until you manually delete them. Due to the amount of information that may accumulate, you should archive these files on a regular basis and delete the originals from the application server. This is the only thing you really need to take care since they might fill up the disk space if you dont archive or delete them on regular basis. Also since the data is very sensitive you should take extra care to protect the data.
Please follow the below links for more details.....

SM19 - Security Audit Log

Hello,
I have activated Security Audit Log through SM19.
When I check the Parameters, I can see
rsau/max_diskspace/local = 20M
(Maximum space for security audit file)
1. My question is if the collective size of security Audit files exceeds 20M, which file will SAP delete? or rather what is the exact course of action that SAP would take?
2. In my system, Parameter rsau/enable = 0 (Enable Security Audit)
But still the audit logs are getting generated.
So does '0' signify Enabled?
Thanks.

I think your answer can be found in [this thread|Re: Security Audit Log FULL. What happens??;
Kind regards,

Security Audit files (.AUD) for GRC Action usage

Good Day
I need some advise regarding the security audit files for GRC on the HR System.
Our basis team is concerned that the security audit files are filling up the file system in the HR system. I assume these are for Action Usage.
I would like to get a view of what other companies are doing to sort this out.
Can these .AUD files be deleted or what?
Your advise would highly be appreciated.
Regards
Mustafa

your question has nothing to do with Oracle. Maybe that SAP on Linux is the better forum for it.

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

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.

If any update, please feel free to let me know.
Hope this helps.

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

Not able to get rid of security-related questions in runtime

Hi,
I am simply using NetBeans 6.0.1 and the emulator QwertyDevice and the emulator platform WTK 2.5.2 for CLDC.
I have chosen Alias as trusted in the signing option in the project configuration page. however still I am getting security confirmation questions in runtime to access the local files for instance.
Would anyone please advise me how to get rid of that?
Also I have deployed the application on SonyEricsson k800i and would like to get rid of the security confirmations on that device as well. What is the guideline?
Thank you

Right clicking on it is not even an option, just hovering over it seems to induce a "nuclear" reset of the whole desktop and graphic card on the iMac.
Have meanwhile found a possible solution by erasing the dock preference file in the user/library/preferences folder to reset the dock to it's default state. Will try this out through a Skype conversation with that Buddy.
Was seen here :

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.

Security upgrade question - Getting 6.1.6 downloaded to iphone.

Security upgrade question - I have a 4S phone v6.01 with an upgrade to IOS 7.04 already downloaded and ready for install. I would like to install the 6.1.6 security upgrade instead. How do I delete the ios7 in the queue or have the 6.1.1 pushed as an option to the phone?

You can't install iOS 6.1.6 on that device and must update it to 7.0.6.

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!!!
