Special Comment Reference › *LL= [Last Logon] (CA VM:Secure only)

*LL= [Last Logon] (CA VM:Secure only)

Lists when the user ID was most recently logged on to (date and time), the location at which it was logged on to (terminal address), and how it was done (LOGONBY user ID) if applicable.

Note: The *LL= comment is used only if the Rules Facility is installed.

CA VM:Secure itself adds this comment to every user ID’s directory entry. It updates the values stored in this comment each time the user ID is logged onto.

Note: Do not enter values for this comment.

The actual updating of the information in this special comment does not take place immediately at user ID logon. Rather, *LL= information is queued up for several user IDs and the updates are done all at once. These group updates are more efficient than updating individual *LL= comments one at a time as each user ID logs on.

Use the DELAYHIS record to specify the amount of time for CA VM:Secure to wait before updating the *LL= special comment in directory entries. For information about the DELAYHIS record, see the Reference Guide.

The information stored in the *LL= comment for a given user ID appears each time that user ID logs on. It is then overwritten with the information about the current logon.

The information CA VM:Secure maintains in this comment looks like this:

*LL= 08:12:44 EST Monday mm/dd/yy from 0021

08:12:44 EST

The time and time zone at which the user ID of the directory entry in which this comment appears last logged on.

Monday

The day on which this user ID last logged on.

mm/dd/yy

The date on which this user ID last logged on.

0021

The terminal address (in the form of a real device address) from which this user ID last logged on. If the logon terminal is connected using IPv6, then the phrase "from IPv6 terminal" is present in the *LL= record, and a companion *LT= record is generated with the IPv6 terminal address.

This information is not displayed if a private lock exists on the user ID’s directory entry at the same time the user ID logs on, such as happens when the directory entry is being updated or the directory database is being backed up.

A private lock does not affect the actual updating of the *LL= special comment, however, because updates are done in groups and not at the moment of logon.
