Preparing for audit support

Why and when to perform this task

In order to take advantage of auditing in WebSphere, you need to set up SMF and RACF and have both running.

Steps for this task

  1. Set up SMF for audit support. For information on setting up and starting SMF, see z/OS MVS System Management Facilities (SMF), SA22-7630
  2. Enable auditing for the EJB Roles by setting the RACF AUDIT attribute. This will set up RACF for auditing in WebSphere Application Server.
    You can turn on auditing for the ADMIN and PAYROLL classes with the following command:
       RALTER EJBROLE (ADMIN,PAYROLL) AUDIT(ALL) 
    • Alternately, you could modify the RACFROLE job to put the AUDIT information there.
    • For more information and additional parameters for the AUDIT attribute, see the z/OS Security Server RACF Auditor's Guide.
