Change Auditor for Defender 7.0.3 - Event Reference Guide

Introduction Change Auditor for Defender Events

Introduction

Defender enhances security by enabling two-factor authentication to network, Web, and applications-based resources. It is designed to base all administration and identity management on an organization’s existing investment in Active Directory and eliminate the costs and time involved in setting up and maintaining proprietary databases. In addition, Defender works with any OATH-compliant hardware token enabling organizations to select the most appropriate token for their users. By leveraging an organization’s existing investment in Active Directory and supporting multiple token vendors, Defender enables organizations to increase security and achieve and sustain compliance in a cost-effective manner.


	NOTE: Defender auditing is only available when you have Defender 5.7 (or later) installed and the Change Auditor for Defender license applied. Contact your Sales Representative for more information on obtaining a license.

Because Defender extends the Active Directory schema, once the Change Auditor for Defender license is applied, agents installed on Domain Controllers will detect any changes made to the Defender-specific attributes in Active Directory and generate events. No audit template is needed.

This document lists the events that can be captured by Change Auditor for Defender. Separate event reference guides are provided that list the core Change Auditor events (when any Change Auditor license is applied) and the events captured when the different auditing modules are licensed.

Change Auditor for Defender Events

This sectionlists the audited events captured by Change Auditor for Defender. They are listed in alphabetical order by facility.


	IMPORTANT: When expecting large numbers of events, it may be necessary to increase the Max Events per Connection setting in the client (Agent Configuration on the Administration Tasks tab) to avoid an ever-increasing backlog of events waiting to be sent from the agent to the coordinator database.


	NOTE: To view a complete list of all the Change Auditor for Defender events, open the Audit Events page on the Administration Tasks tab in the client. This page contains a list of all the events available for auditing by Change Auditor. It also displays the facility to which the event belongs, the severity assigned to each event, if the event is enabled or disabled, and the type of license that is required to capture each event.
