With the enhanced security of IBM i 7.6 you can expect to see increased numbers of AF (Authority Failure) entries in the system audit journal. One of those contributing factors are people using Navigator for i. The "Dashboard" returns information about the system asp, CPU utilization, etc. Stuff locked down in 7.6. This WILL generate AF entries for the common user. The screen will continue to work, it just will have blanks on the data they do not have authorization to. Each user has their properties. One of those is to refresh the screen every 2 minutes. This can be changed. If you see AF entries repeating every 2 minutes then you know someone left the dashboard screen up. -- This is the Midrange Systems Technical Discussion (MIDRANGE-L) mailing list To post a message email: [email protected] To subscribe, unsubscribe, or change list options, visit: https://lists.midrange.com/mailman/listinfo/midrange-l or email: MIDRANGE-L-request-+hD5IHI5Xscn3HwCXmMcX9BPR1lH4CV8@public.gmane.org Before posting, please take a moment to review the archives at https://archive.midrange.com/midrange-l.
