Keith Turner commented on ACCUMULO-1070:
----------------------------------------
bq. Can you explain what credentials.getTokenClassName() gives us that would be
useful for auditing?
[~ctubbsii] or [~vines] may be able to give you a more precises explanation.
This is all in flux. Basically, it possible for a user to authenticate
against a user database in zookeeper or a pluggable authentication system like
ldap. I think the token class name may give a clue as to which the user is
attempting to use.
> Improve the auditing messages that are generated from the server.

> Auditing of all user interactions, including system administrators, is
> sometimes required by a companies so that they can retrospectively audit user
> interactions after a security breach. Currently, not all user operations on
> the Accumulo server are generating audit messages and if they are, not in a
> consistent manner.
> The audit created in the AuditedSecurityOperations class are not currently
> creating consistent messages when an user passes the operation validation to
> when they fail the operation validation.
> Also, the Scan operations are not being audited and it would be very useful
> to know who has run scans and what those scans were, by including: the
> principal user, the column families, the ranges, etc.
>
> I am intending to address both of these issues and submit a patch in the next
> week.
