3 - Audit Logging - Logger

Information

It is good practice to log the actions on the org.jboss.security class. This category includes all the security related actions on the particular instance of the AS (authentication, failures, administrative changes ..).

It is good to keep these events in a separate file for easy classification and analysis.

NOTE: Nessus has provided the target output to assist in reviewing the benchmark to ensure target compliance.

Solution

Create a new category and reference the handler needed:

<profile>
<subsystem ....>
<logger ....>
<handlers>
<handler name="...." />
</handlers>
</logger>
</subsystem>
</profile>
