Setting up the Windows Event Log audit method

To configure OneSpan Authentication Server to use the Windows Event Log audit method

1. Start the Configuration Utility.
2. Click on the Auditing icon.
3. Click Add.
4. Select Event Log from the list box.

5. Click OK.

   The Add Event Log Method dialog appears.

   1. Enter a name in the Display Name field. This name will only be used for display purposes.

      If this audit method must succeed, select the Reject audit message if this method fails box. An error will be returned by OneSpan Authentication Server if an audit message cannot be written with this method.

   2. If required, select the Record audit message if no other audit method has recorded it box.

   3. Select one or more audit message types to be logged by this plug-in:

      • Error
      • Warning
      • Information
      • Success
      • Failure
6. Select a log type (in the Event Log Audit Settings section). This setting controls where the audit messages should appear in the Windows Event Viewer, i.e. System, Application, or VASCO.
7. Click OK.
8. Click Apply.

If event log auditing is used, your organization will need to ensure that GDPR is met by encrypting the Windows Event Logs folder (also on remote machines, if remote logging is enabled).

For more information about GDPR, refer to the OneSpan Authentication Server General Data Protection Regulation Compliance Guide.
