A security domain can include several provider modules each of which can include attributes and options.Add a provider module.
Click Add. Fill in the Code section with the classname of the provider module.Verify if your module is working
The goal of an audit module is to provide a way to monitor the events in the security subsystem. This monitoring can be done by means of writing to a log file, email notifications or any other measurable auditing mechanism.For example, JBoss EAP 6 includes theLogAuditProvider
module by default. If enabled following the steps above, this audit module writes security notifications to aaudit.log
file in thelog
subfolder within theEAP_HOME
directory.To verify if the steps above have worked in the context of theLogAuditProvider
, perform an action that is likely to trigger a notification and then check the audit log file.For a full list of included security auditing provider modules, see here: Section A.4, “Included Security Auditing Provider Modules”Optional: Add, edit, or remove module options.
To add options to your module, click its entry in the Modules list, and select the Module Options tab in the Details section of the page. Click , and provide the key and value for the option.To edit an option that already exists, clickto remove it, and click to add it again with the correct options.
Your security auditing module is added to the security domain, and is immediately available to applications which use the security domain.
