3 - Audit Logging - Handler

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.

Solution

Insert a new handler into the logging subsystem:

<profile>
<subsystem ....>
<periodic-rotating-file-handler name="....">
logging actions
</periodic-rotating-file-handler>
</subsystem>
</profile>
