Example: Password Verification Event Message
The following audit record was taken from a detailed seaudit output.
02 Dec 2008 10:23:47 F PASSWORD test1 1 10 Event type: Password verification Status: Failed User name: test1 Details: Password too short Audit flags: AC database user
This audit record indicates that on December 2nd 2008, the user attempting to change his account password was denied because the password did not meet the minimum required number of characters, as defined by the password policy (authorization stage code 1—Password too short). CA ControlMinder logged this event message according to an explicit request (reason code 10—An explicit request to log the operation was received).
