Management Command Format

If the object category ID is management command (SmLogObjCat_ManagementCommand), the format is:

ManagementCommand <Hostname> <Time String> "- <Username> " <Event> '<Description>'

Elements in the above format example are described as follows:

• <HostName> is the name of the host.
• <Time String> is the timestamp of the occurrence of the event, in the format: [<date>/<month>/<year>:<hour>:<minute>:<second> <difference from GMT>]. For example:

  [27/Jun/2000:11:27:29 -0500]
  

• <UserName> is the name of the user who generated the event.
• <Event> is the name of the management command event—namely:

  FlushAll             ChangeDynamicKeys
  FlushUser            ChangePersistentKey
  FlushAllUsers        ChangeDisabledUserState
  FlushAllRealms       ChangeUserPassword
  

• <Description> is the user DN for management commands that involve a user, such as flush user command, a change disabled user state, and a change password.

Here is an example of a management command event format that was logged when administrator JLewis flushed the user cache for BRoy:

ManagementCommand MyHost [20/Jul/2001:13:26:23 -0500] 
"- JLewis" FlushUser 'uid=BRoy,ou=HR,o=security.com'
