GroupWise has no ability to track/ audit GroupWise Administrative Changes - System Wide - with Sentinel or other event management tools. This is a real urgent requirement.
Even without directing them to a SIEM solution, we need a way to have the GW-Admin console log who logged in and from where.
To be able to track who made the changes that are logged in
/var/log/novell/groupwise/gwadmin/gwadmin-console.log
?
Usually only failed logins show in that file, and are a bit cryptic
a non-admin with correct credentials has the same report as a non-admin
without correct password.
2016-11-15 13:11:50 GwAuthenticationProvider [ERROR] ***Failed to Login
**** No admin rights
bogus IDs that don't exist in the system only show as failed login
2016-11-15 13:12:03 GwAuthenticationProvider [ERROR] ***Failed to Login
**** Not allowed
At least the user names of failed/blocked logins are shown in gwadmin-
service.log, but we still can't tell who did what.
Reiterating this request: apparently, I have a help desk person un-setting the message retention flag on some mailboxes (which could get us in a boatload of legal trouble), but I cannot tell who is doing this. If I knew who was doing this, I could tell them to stop (or take away their administration rights).
