Issue/Introduction

The 'usage_user_login' table in TDM seems to list users who have logged into the TDM portal.
But how about users logging in from ARD studio via the TDMService URL  (https://<TDM host>:8443/TDMService) 
Is there a table that shows usage and connection from ARD studio.

Environment

Release : 4.10

Resolution

Logging in to the TDM Portal via the browser results in an entry into the usage_user_login table. 
However logging in via ARD Studio does not seem to do this. 
There are entries in the TDMWeb.log however similar to: 
generating new token for
External authentication not allowed for user

These entries are also generated when logging in via ARD Studio.
These lines could be filtered with a simple script from past logs.
For extending the time that the logs are available see:
