Troubleshooting

View Authentication Logs

Prerequisites: You must have the rights to administer logs.
  1. Select Tools, Log and then View Authentication.

     

  2. For the Time Criteria, specify the From and To dates for the time period required.
  3. For the General Criteria:

    1. Select the Server for the authentication data you want to view.
    2. To view the logs for specific server with a pool of servers, select the Server IP address for the required server.
    3. To view data for a specific user, enter the user’s ID in the User ID field.
    4. To view error data only, select REJECTED only.
  4. Click Show to display the authentication data corresponding to the specified criteria.
  5. Use Print to print the displayed data.

    To produce more sophisticated statistics with standard reporting tools, you can access the data stored in the A_AHLOG table directly from the AAA Server database. You need to use a tool that supports ODBC (DSN=ActivPackAdmin).
