C Oracle Fusion Middleware Audit Framework Reference

This appendix provides reference information for audit reports in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Audit Framework.

Use the information in this chapter for audit record administration and to develop reports from your audit data.

This chapter contains these topics:

Note:

This appendix covers reports based on the report template model with Oracle Business Intelligence Publisher 10g. A different approach is used for audit based on the dynamic metadata model; see Chapter 15 for details.

C.1 Audit Events

This section describes the components that are audited and the types of events that can be audited.

C.1.1 What Components Can be Audited?

The Oracle Fusion Middleware Audit Framework provides the foundation for auditing by Oracle Fusion Middleware components and applications. In 12c (12.1.2), a number of Java and system components can generate audit records; they are known as audit-aware components.

Some examples of Java components that utilize the Fusion Middleware Audit Framework are:

  • Directory Integration Platform Server

  • Oracle Platform Security Services

  • Oracle Web Services Manager

  • Oracle Web Services

  • Reports Server

Some system components that utilize the Fusion Middleware Audit Framework are:

  • Oracle HTTP Server

  • Oracle Internet Directory

This appendix provides audit information only for events generated by Oracle Platform Security Services. For details about auditing in other components and applications, refer to the respective administration guides.

C.1.2 What Events can be Audited?

The set of tables in this section shows what event types can be audited:

C.1.2.1 Oracle Platform Security Services Events and their Attributes

This section contains the following tables:

Table C-1 System Categories and Events

Category Event Description

UserSession

This set of events is for creating and using user sessions on the system.

Common attribute for these events: AuthenticationMethod

UserLogin

User Logins

In multi-tier applications, inner tiers often use some special user id (an end user or an administrator) to log in to the next tier. To make audit reports more meaningful, logins by these special users are considered in a separate category - Internal Logins. The User Logins/Logouts events only records actions by regular users (including administrators).
 

UserLogout

User Logouts

An end user or administrator logs out.
 

Authentication

Authentication is very similar to UserLogin/InternalLogin, except that no session is created, so there is no corresponding UserLogout/InternalLogout. This event is usually generated by lower layers, while login is generated by higher layers.
 

InternalLogin

Internal Login

This is an internal login between two tiers.
 

InternalLogout

Internal Logout

This is an internal logout between two tiers.

C.3 WLST Commands for Auditing

Oracle WebLogic Server scripts are used at the command line to administer various features. WLST is the command-line utility for administration of Oracle Fusion Middleware components and applications in the Oracle WebLogic Server environment. It provides another option for administration in addition to Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control.

For details about the WLST commands to view and manage audit policies and the audit store configuration, see "Audit Configuration Commands" in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Infrastructure Security WLST Command Reference.

Note:

When running audit commands, you must invoke the WLST script from the Oracle Common home. See "Using Custom WLST Commands" in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide for more information.

C.4 Audit Filter Expression Syntax

When you select a custom audit policy, you have the option of specifying a filter expression along with an event.

For example, you can use the following expression:

Host Id -eq "myhost123"

to enable the audit event for a particular host only.



You enter this expression either through the Fusion Middleware Control Edit Filter Dialog or through the setAuditPolicy command.




See Also:





There are some syntax rules you should follow when creating a filter expression.


The expression can either be a Boolean expression or a literal.


<Expr> ::= <BooleanExpression> | <BooleanLiteral>



A boolean expression can use combinations of RelationalExpression with –and, -or, -not and parenthesis. For example, (Host Id -eq "stadl17" -or ").


<BooleanExpression> ::=  <RelationalExpression>
   | ”(” <BooleanExpression> ”)”
   | <BooleanExpression> ”-and” <BooleanExpression>
   | <BooleanExpression> ”-or” <BooleanExpression>
   | ”-not” <BooleanExpression>



A relational expression compares an attribute name (on the left hand side) with a literal (on the right-hand side). The literal and the operator must be of the correct data type for the attribute.


<RelationalExpression> ::= <AttributeName> <RelationalOperator> <Literal>



Relational operators are particular to data types:


    

  • 

    -eq, -ne can be used with all data types
    

    • 

  • 

    -contains, -startswith, -endswith can be only used with strings
    

    • 

  • 

    -contains_case, -startswith_case and -endswith_case are case sensitive versions of the above three functions
    

    • 

  • 

    -lt, -le, -gt, -ge can be used with numeric and datetime
    

    • 



<RelationalOperator> : = "-eq" | "-ne" | "-lt" | "-le" | "-gt" | "-ge"
   | "-contains" | "-contains_case"
   | "-startswith" | "-startswith_case"
   | "-endswith" | "-endswith_case"



Rules for literals are as follows:


    

  • 

    Boolean literals are true or false, without quotes.
    

    • 

  • 

    Date time literals have to be in double quotes and can be in many different formats; "June 25, 2006", "06/26/2006 2:00 pm" are all valid.
    

    • 

  • 

    String literals have to be quotes, back-slash can be used to escape an embedded double quote.
    

    • 

  • 

    Numeric literals are in their usual format.
    

    • 



For example:


<Literal> ::=  <NumericLiteral> | <BooleanLiteral> | <DateTimeLiteral> | <StringLiteral><BooleanLiteral> ::= "true” | "false”







C.5 Naming and Logging Format of Audit Files


This section explains the rules that are used to maintain audit files.


For Java components (both Java EE and Java SE) the audit.log file contains audit records and comprises the bus-stop file.


When that file fills up (it reaches the configured maximum audit file size which is 100MB), it is renamed to audit1.log and records written to a new audit.log. When this file fills up, the audit.log file is renamed to "audit2.log" and the cycle starts with a new audit.log.


When you configure a database audit store, the audit loader reads these files and transfers the records to the database in batches. After reading a complete audit<n>.log file, it deletes the file.




Note:

The audit loader never deletes the "current" file, that is, audit.log; it only deletes archive files audit<n>.log.


System components follow the same model, except the file name is slightly different. The process ID is embedded in the file name; thus, if the process id is 11925 the current file is called audit-pid11925.log, and after rotation it is called audit-pid11925-1.log.


For applications with audit definitions in the dynamic model, the file name format is audit_major version number_minor version number.log; for example, audit_1_2.log.


Here is a sample audit.log file:

This file follows the W3C extended logging format, which is a very common log format that is used by many Web Servers including Apache and IIS:


    

  • 

    The first line is a "#Fields" line; it specifies all the fields in the rest of the file.
    

    • 

  • 

    The second line is a comment like "#Remark" which has a comment indicating some common attributes like the ComponentType.
    

    • 

  • 

    All subsequent lines are data lines; they follow the exact format defined in the "#Fields" line. All attributes are separated by spaces, mussing attributes are indicated by a dash.
