Viewing security history data
You can view any History space data as a table of information. A chart is the best way to view most standard historical information. A table is best
for security history. This procedure specifically documents viewing security history data.
Prerequisites: The History space contains one or more security histories.
- Expand (station name) and double-click SecurityHistory.The history table opens.
This screen capture shows mostly authentication history records. The last row reports a FoxService property change.
- To test that the log is working, navigate to a component, such as the FoxService or WebService, right-click the component and click .The Slot Sheet opens.
The highlighted properties are security-related as identified by security=true in the Facets column of the table. Changing one of these properties generates an audit record in the security history.
- Note which properties are security-related, return to the Property Sheet, change the configuration of the property you noted and click Save.
- Go back and refresh the history.The station updates the history indicating that the property was Changed.
Security-related property changes show up in the standard audit history, but authentication events do not. This prevents frequent
authentication events from filling up the limited number of records in the audit history. To change the number of records
allowed in any audit history, use the AuditHistoryService Property Sheet.
