WRKSYSVAL VALUE(QAUDLVL) Add the Security Auditing Level *AUTFAIL to the list of auditing options in QAUDLVL. This will record logon failures (among other things) in the System Audit Journal "QAUDJRN". Click

for an article that discusses this journal (briefly) and that security value.

Look in QHST for CPF2234 - "Password from device QPADEV0003 not correct for user BIGGLES" There's probably some place in journals and security that will save it and then it should be available for a program to list in a nicer format. Trevor

You could DSPUSRPRF to an *OUTFILE and query the database for UPNVSA - "Signon Attempts not Valid" to retrieve a quick list.

But that number of attempts becomes zero once the user signs on correctly.

Frank, Take a look at the QAUDJRN security audit log. The PW audit record is written each time an invalid user-ID or invalid password is used. Ed Fishel

WHAT COMMAND CONTROLS WHEN QAUDJRN HAS TO BE PURGED?

CHGJRNRCV Will change the journal to output to a new receiver. Once this is done, the old receiever should be backup, and then you an remove it from the system.

I have found that a weekly scheduled batch run of a series of DSPAUDJRNE ENTTYP(PW) OUTPUT(*PRINT) for various entries like AF. CP, ..PW etc. followed by rolling over the receiver as above ..... allows monitoring of which users are having problems and occasional users whose profiles have been invalidated.

Hello, is there any way to view or audit unsuccessful attempts for usrprf's even if they don't go over the qmaxsign attempts? I have that set for 5 and what I'd like to know is how I can view a usrprf who has a few unsuccessful attempts but is still able to signon? If it can't be done by OS400 would a software package provide this info? Thanks, Frank
