All audit event outcome codes are not working as expected using Security auditing feature of WebSphere

All audit event outcome codes are not working as expected while using Security auditing feature of WebSphere.

We tried to use security auditing feature but after enabling we found that the list of all outcome codes are not working. We had raised TS013799213 there they suggested to raise it as a new idea.

    Thank you for the suggestion. Security best practices would mean that it should not be possible for WebSphere to be able to determine and disseminate why an authentication failure occurred. As a result while it might be possible to write code to determine the reason for the failure it would be a security anti-pattern for an LDAP server to provide sufficient information such that WebSphere could determine and share it. LDAP server audit logs should be able to capture this information and that would be a better security practice rather than relying on WebSphere audit logs. Given this concern, we have decided to decline the request. If you would like to discuss this decision further, please contact Graham Charters <charters@uk.ibm.com>.

    We are getting outcome reason code=15 in our security auditing logs in case of invalid user or wrong password.


    We want these information in logs: -


    i) On Login via Startpage failing due to wrong Username, failure reason should be shown in audit log.


    ii) On Login via Startpage failing due to wrong Password, failure reason should be shown in audit log.


    iii) On Login via Startpage failing due to Login attempt using Expired User Account, failure reason should be shown in audit log.
