User interface

Initial View

When Log Viewer is invoked, it initially loads the current Audit log file, selects the last page and scrolls directly to the bottom of the page, displaying the log entries that were last written by Ubisecure SSO.

Note that initially the extended log entry information is not shown on the page, in order to make the event history more legible.

Date / Type - Selection Menus

These dropdown-select boxes make it easier to navigate to a certain date. The view updates immediately when any field is changed. The date fields are laid out in descending format, that is: year, month and day. Only the years, days and months of logs that are in the logs directory, are shown in selection list.

Ext. Msg. Radio Buttons

Ext. msg. is an abbreviation of extended messages. These are initially turned off in order to make the view more legible. Changing the value immediately updates the view. Multi-line system errors are only displayed if Ext. msg is on.

Entries/Page-Menu

Available options are 22, 50, 100 and all. Changing this value immediately updates the view with the new values. Note that it also resets the view to the beginning of the log file.

Page Navigation Links

These links vary depending on the number of available pages as follows:

• for 1 page – Refresh
• for 2 pages - First Page, Last Page
• greater than or equal to 3 pages First Page, Prev Page, Next Page, Last Page

In addition to reloading the log file, "Refresh" and "Last Page" will dynamically scroll the view down to the last available log entry. This feature makes it easier to trace newly written log entries if the view holds more entries than can be viewed simultaneously.

Logfile Navigation Buttons

These buttons navigate between the entire range of log files of the currently selected type – for example, seeing the same log type from the next or previous day.

Headers

Log Viewer's each header is a generic description of the individual event's each field. Since most events contain different information by type, the view would expand inconveniently if each field were represented under an exactly describing header and therefore make the event tracing cumbersome.

Entry Representation of Audit-Events:

The "ticket granted" event

The "access denied" event

The "logout" event

The "authentication method list" event

The "assertion received" event

Entry Representation of Diag-Events:

Diagnostics events all follow the same convention.
