How can you audit users logins to Smarts SAM?



The Smarts SAM server log file will log any login attempts which are unsuccessful, such as when an incorrect username or password is entered. These log entires will appear as follows:
[29-Jul-2009 08:54:52+833ms IST] t@32 HTTP #2

AUTH-E-EBADLOGINSYS-Unsuccessful <SYS> login to LOGIN: From IRCSOBRIEM5D1C ICĀ 
Console - V7.1.0.0 pid=--- IP=XXX.XX.XX.X:1279

However, when a user successfully logs into the Global Console, the same information is not shown and an entry like the following is created:

XMLC-N-XML_CONF_EXPORT_OK-Export config OK for config handler
'ConsoleOperation-ConfigHandler'

To get detailed information in the server log file on which users and IP addresses are successfully logged in, run the following DMCTL command:

dmctl -s SAMServer exec dmdebug --clients
