slapo-auditlog - Audit Logging overlay to slapd
ETCDIR/slapd.conf
ETCDIR/slapd.d
The Audit Logging overlay can be used to record all changes on a
given backend database to a specified log file. Changes are logged
as standard LDIF, with an additional comment header providing six
fields of information about the change. A second comment header is
added at the end of the operation to note the termination of the
change.
For Add and Modify operations the identity comes from the
modifiersName associated with the operation. This is usually the
same as the requestor's identity, but may be set by other overlays
to reflect other values.
Both slapd.conf and back-config style configuration are supported.
overlay auditlog
This directive loads the auditlog overlay.
auditlog <filename>
olcAuditlogFile: <filename>
Specify the fully qualified path for the log file.
auditlognonblocking {on|off}
olcAuditlogNonBlocking: {on|off}
Open <filename> in non-blocking mode. Useful if <filename>
is a named pipe and slapd should not block if no reader is
available.
The first field is the operation type.
The second field is the timestamp of the operation in seconds
since epoch.
The third field is the suffix of the database.
The fourth field is the recorded modifiersName.
The fifth field is the originating IP address and port.
The sixth field is the connection number. A connection number of
-1 indicates an internal slapd operation.
The following LDIF could be used to add this overlay to cn=config
(adjust to suit)
