To use the default audit module

The default audit module logs authentication and authorization requests to the server log file. For information on changing the location of the log file, see To configure general logging settings.

Authentication log entries include the following information:

• Names of users who attempted to authenticate.

Regardless of whether audit logging is enabled, the Application Server logs all denied authentication events.

Authorization log entries include the following information:

• Names of authenticated users, if any.

• The requested Web URI or EJB component.

• Success or failure of the requests.
