System Log
This log records information about requests to the server (all HTTP and HTTPS
requests) and the responses from the server. Information recorded in this log
includes the IP address of the client machine that accessed the server, operations
performed (for example, search, add, edit), and the result of the access (for
example, the number of entries returned). This log is on by default.
Transactions Log
This log records messages specific to the certificate service—messages such as
certificate requests, certificate renewal and revocation requests, and CRL
publication—and enables you to detect any unauthorized access or activity. This
log is on by default.
Signed Audit Log
This log contains audit records for events that have been set up as recordable
events. If the
logSigning
attribute is set to
true
, the audit log is signed with a log
signing certificate belonging to the server. This certificate can be used by auditors
to verify that the log has not been tampered with. See “Signed Audit Log,” on page
277.
