Hi,

I wish to find out the failed login attempt. I don't have any idea if this data gets stored in the database. If the login is successful, an entry will be made in dauditnew. But, if it fails, what'll happen.

Also, I need to find out 2Invalid session blocked".

Can anyone help me please.

I have made changes in the admin index page "Set Auditing Interests" so that dauditnew will record these 2 events.

What will be the name of the event. i.e. What will be the value for auditstr if anyof these events happen

1. Failed Log-in attempt
2. Invalid Session blocked

make sure you create those events by doing the failures yourself.I hope you have re-started all of the livelink servers after your change to the ini files.Make a couple of failed log in attempts.

Now using a database tool run

select distinct(auditstr) from dauditnew

If livelink is doing those it will be in the resultset.(caution if dauditnew is big then the query will take a while)



Well, if I called the wrong number, why did you answer the phone?

An even simpler way to do this:

1. Enable failed login attempt auditing on the 'Set Auditing Interests' page.
2. Use the query audit log page to find failed login attempts (after enabling the above).
