!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] is a [The Open Group] [standard]
The objective of the [{$pagename}] specification is to define:
* a set of generic [events] of relevance at a global [Distributed system] level, For example, end-user system sign-on and the initiation and termination of communication sessions between components.
* a common portable [auditing] record format to facilitate the merging and analysis of audit information from multiple components at the [Distributed system] level
* an [API] for use by applications to submit events to XDAS
* an [API] to import audit data from existing component specific audit services to XDAS
* an API to configure event pre-selection criteria for event submission to XDAS
* an API to read records from a [{$pagename}] audit trail
The Distributed Audit Service or [{$pagename}] is an [Logging] and [Auditing] system.
!! XDAS standard model
The XDAS standard model defines three separate actors in any [XDAS Event] record connected by an [XDAS Action]:
* The [XDAS Initiator] causes the event to occur by taking action against the Target.
* The [XDAS Target] is the resource affected by the Action
* The [XDAS Observer] detects the [XDAS Action] taking place and generates an event record to describe it.
As far as I know, Originally conceived as part of the Novell "Bandit Project" it is now part of the [OpenGroup|http://www.opengroup.org/security/das/xdas_int.htm |target='_blank'].
The [{$pagename}] standard defines three very critical aspects of auditing: API, Record Format, and Taxonomy.
Generally, our work involves the use of XDASv2 regarding Novell eDirectory 8.8 and Novell Identity Manager.
