See COPYRIGHT/LICENSE. +.\" $OpenLDAP$ +.SH NAME +slapo\-accesslog \- Access Logging overlay to slapd +.SH SYNOPSIS +ETCDIR/slapd.conf +.SH DESCRIPTION +The Access Logging overlay can be used to record all accesses to a given +backend database on another database. This allows all of the activity on +a given database to be reviewed using arbitrary LDAP queries, instead of +just logging to local flat text files. Configuration options are available +for selecting a subset of operation types to log, and to automatically +prune older log records from the logging database. Log records are stored +with audit schema (see below) to assure their readability whether viewed +as LDIF or in raw form. +.SH CONFIGURATION +These +.B slapd.conf +options apply to the Access Logging overlay. +They should appear after the +.B overlay +directive. +.TP +.B logdb <suffix> +Specify the suffix of a database to be used for storing the log records. +The specified database must be defined elsewhere in the configuration and +must support an ordered return of results such as +.BR slapd\-mdb (5) +The access controls +on the log database should prevent general access. The suffix entry +of the log database will be created automatically by this overlay. The log +entries will be generated as the immediate children of the suffix entry. +.TP +.B logops <operations> +Specify which types of operations to log. The valid operation types are +abandon, add, bind, compare, delete, extended, modify, modrdn, search, +and unbind. Aliases for common sets of operations are also available: +.RS +.TP +.B writes +add, delete, modify, modrdn +.TP +.B reads +compare, search +.TP +.B session +abandon, bind, unbind +.TP +.B all +all operations +.RE +.TP +.B logbase <operations> <baseDN> +Specify a set of operations that will only be logged if they occur under +a specific subtree of the database. The operation types are as above for +the +.B logops +setting, and delimited by a '|' character. +.TP +.B logold <filter> +Specify a filter for matching against Deleted and Modified entries. If +the entry matches the filter, the old contents of the entry will be +logged along with the current request. +.TP +.B logoldattr <attr> ... +Specify a list of attributes whose old contents are always logged in +Modify and ModRDN requests that match any of the filters configured in +.BR logold . +Usually only the contents of attributes that were +actually modified will be logged; by default no old attributes are logged +for ModRDN requests. +.TP +.B logpurge <age> <interval> +Specify the maximum age for log entries to be retained in the database, +and how often to scan the database for old entries. Both the +.B age +and +.B interval +are specified as a time span in days, hours, minutes, and seconds. The +time format is [ddd+]hh:mm[:ss] i.e., the days and seconds components are +optional but hours and minutes are required. Except for days, which can +be up to 5 digits, each numeric field must be exactly two digits. For example +.RS +.RS +.PD 0 +.TP +logpurge 2+00:00 1+00:00 +.RE +.PD +would specify that the log database should be scanned every day for old +entries, and entries older than two days should be deleted. When using a +log database that supports ordered indexing on generalizedTime attributes, +specifying an eq index on the +.B reqStart +attribute will greatly benefit the performance of the purge operation. +.RE +.TP +.B logsuccess TRUE | FALSE +If set to TRUE then log records will only be generated for successful +requests, i.e., requests that produce a result code of 0 (LDAP_SUCCESS). +If FALSE, log records are generated for all requests whether they +succeed or not. The default is FALSE. + +.SH EXAMPLES +.LP +.nf + database mdb + suffix dc=example,dc=com + \... + overlay accesslog + logdb cn=log + logops writes reads + logbase search|compare ou=testing,dc=example,dc=com + logold (objectclass=person) + + database mdb + suffix cn=log + \... + index reqStart eq + access to * + by dn.base="cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com" read +.fi + +.SH SCHEMA +The +.B accesslog +overlay utilizes the "audit" schema described herein. +This schema is specifically designed for +.B accesslog +auditing and is not intended to be used otherwise. It is also +noted that the schema described here is +.I a work in +.IR progress , +and hence subject to change without notice. +The schema is loaded automatically by the overlay. + +The schema includes a number of object classes and associated +attribute types as described below. + +The root entry of the underlying accesslog database makes use +of the +.B auditContainer +class which is as follows: +.LP +.RS 4 +( 1.3.6.1.4.1.4203.666.11.5.2.0 + NAME 'auditContainer' + DESC 'AuditLog container' + SUP top STRUCTURAL + MAY ( cn $ reqStart $ reqEnd ) ) +.RE +.P + +There is +a basic +.B auditObject +class from which two additional classes, +.B auditReadObject +and +.B auditWriteObject +are derived. Object classes for each type of LDAP operation are further +derived from these classes. This object class hierarchy is designed to +allow flexible yet efficient searches of the log based on either a specific +operation type's class, or on more general classifications. The definition +of the +.B auditObject +class is as follows: +.LP +.RS 4 +( 1.3.6.1.4.1.4203.666.11.5.2.1 + NAME 'auditObject' + DESC 'OpenLDAP request auditing' + SUP top STRUCTURAL + MUST ( reqStart $ reqType $ reqSession ) + MAY ( reqDN $ reqAuthzID $ reqControls $ reqRespControls $ + reqEnd $ reqResult $ reqMessage $ reqReferral $ reqEntryUUID ) ) +.RE +.P +Note that all of the OIDs used in the logging schema currently reside +under the OpenLDAP Experimental branch. It is anticipated that they +will migrate to a Standard branch in the future. + +An overview of the attributes follows: +.B reqStart +and +.B reqEnd +provide the start and end time of the operation, respectively. They use +generalizedTime syntax. The +.B reqStart +attribute is also used as the RDN for each log entry. + +The +.B reqType +attribute is a simple string containing the type of operation +being logged, e.g. +.BR add , +.BR delete , +.BR search , +etc. For extended operations, the type also includes the OID of the +extended operation, e.g. +.B extended(1.1.1.1) + +The +.B reqSession +attribute is an implementation-specific identifier that is common to +all the operations associated with the same LDAP session. Currently this +is slapd's internal connection ID, stored in decimal. + +The +.B reqDN +attribute is the distinguishedName of the target of the operation. E.g., for +a Bind request, this is the Bind DN. For an Add request, this is the DN +of the entry being added. For a Search request, this is the base DN of +the search. + +The +.B reqAuthzID +attribute is the distinguishedName of the user that performed the operation. +This will usually be the same name as was established at the start of a +session by a Bind request (if any) but may be altered in various +circumstances. + +The +.B reqControls +and +.B reqRespControls +attributes carry any controls sent by the client on the request and returned +by the server in the response, respectively. The attribute values are just +uninterpreted octet strings. + +The +.B reqResult +attribute is the numeric LDAP result code of the operation, indicating +either success or a particular LDAP error code. An error code may be +accompanied by a text error message which will be recorded in the +.B reqMessage +attribute. + +The +.B reqReferral +attribute carries any referrals that were returned with the result of the +request. + +The +.B reqEntryUUID +attribute records the entryUUID attribute of the entry operated on, for an Add +request, this is the entryUUID of the newly created entry. + +Operation-specific classes are defined with additional attributes to carry +all of the relevant parameters associated with the operation: + +.LP +.RS 4 +( 1.3.6.1.4.1.4203.666.11.5.2.4 + NAME 'auditAbandon' + DESC 'Abandon operation' + SUP auditObject STRUCTURAL + MUST reqId ) +.RE +.P +For the +.B Abandon +operation the +.B reqId +attribute contains the message ID of the request that was abandoned. + +.LP +.RS 4 +( 1.3.6.1.4.1.4203.666.11.5.2.5 + NAME 'auditAdd' + DESC 'Add operation' + SUP auditWriteObject STRUCTURAL + MUST reqMod ) +.RE +.P +The +.B Add +class inherits from the +.B auditWriteObject +class. The Add and Modify classes are very similar. The +.B reqMod +attribute carries all of the attributes of the original entry being added. +(Or in the case of a Modify operation, all of the modifications being +performed.) The values are formatted as +.RS +.PD 0 +.TP +attribute:<+|\-|=|#> [ value] +.RE +.RE +.PD +Where '+' indicates an Add of a value, '\-' for Delete, '=' for Replace, +and '#' for Increment.

It may +optionally contain the previous contents of any modified attributes in the +.B reqOld +attribute, using the same format as described above for the Delete operation. +The +.B reqOld +attribute is only populated if the entry being modified matches the +configured +.B logold +filter. + +.LP +.RS 4 +( 1.3.6.1.4.1.4203.666.11.5.2.10 + NAME 'auditModRDN' + DESC 'ModRDN operation' + SUP auditWriteObject STRUCTURAL + MUST ( reqNewRDN $ reqDeleteOldRDN ) + MAY ( reqNewSuperior $ reqMod $ reqOld ) ) +.RE +.P +The +.B ModRDN +class uses the +.B reqNewRDN +attribute to carry the new RDN of the request. +The +.B reqDeleteOldRDN +attribute is a Boolean value showing +.B TRUE +if the old RDN was deleted from the entry, or +.B FALSE +if the old RDN was preserved. +The +.B reqNewSuperior +attribute carries the DN of the new parent entry if the request specified +the new parent. +The +.B reqOld +attribute is only populated if the entry being modified matches the +configured +.B logold +filter and contains attributes in the +.B logoldattr +list. + +.LP +.RS 4 +( 1.3.6.1.4.1.4203.666.11.5.2.11 + NAME 'auditSearch' + DESC 'Search operation' + SUP auditReadObject STRUCTURAL + MUST ( reqScope $ reqDerefAliases $ reqAttrsOnly ) + MAY ( reqFilter $ reqAttr $ reqEntries $ reqSizeLimit $ + reqTimeLimit ) ) +.RE +.P +For the +.B Search +class the +.B reqScope +attribute contains the scope of the original search request, using the +values specified for the LDAP URL format. I.e. +.BR base , +.BR one , +.BR sub , +or +.BR subord . +The +.B reqDerefAliases +attribute is one of +.BR never , +.BR finding , +.BR searching , +or +.BR always , +denoting how aliases will be processed during the search. +The +.B reqAttrsOnly +attribute is a Boolean value showing +.B TRUE +if only attribute names were requested, or +.B FALSE +if attributes and their values were requested. +The +.B reqFilter +attribute carries the filter used in the search request. +The +.B reqAttr +attribute lists the requested attributes if specific attributes were +requested. +The +.B reqEntries +attribute is the integer count of how many entries were returned by +this search request. +The +.B reqSizeLimit +and +.B reqTimeLimit +attributes indicate what limits were requested on the search operation. + +.LP +.RS 4 +( 1.3.6.1.4.1.4203.666.11.5.2.12 + NAME 'auditExtended' + DESC 'Extended operation' + SUP auditObject STRUCTURAL + MAY reqData ) +.RE +.P +The +.B Extended +class represents an LDAP Extended Operation.
