Resolution
There are three pieces of information that will allow an administrator to work out the data being sent to the remote syslog server.
- Review the RSA Authentication Manager 8.2 Troubleshooting Guide, which provides information on how to troubleshoot Authentication Manager 8.2 for commonly occurring error messages. These error messages are displayed in the SNMP traps or in the logs.
- RSA Authentication Manager has three tables that store runtime (authentication), administrative and system log data. The RSA Authentication Manager 8.2 Developer Guide, available in the extras.zip, provides the table structures for the runtime log table (IMS_LOG_AUDIT_RT), administration log table (IMS_LOG_AUDIT_ADM) and system log table (IMS_LOG_SYSTEM).
- The Security Console provides three reporting templates called Authentication Activity (for runtime), Administrator Activity (for admin) and System Log Report (system) that report data from the three logging tables.
