dstrace is probably your best bet. You already know the alternatives
better than most (future). You can use Audit to log all authentications
and then use Audit notifications to possibly limit some by client (being
the server) but it's not perfect.

Good luck.

Sentinel uses the Audit Platform Agents and Instrumentation to collect data.

Good luck.

When you say "source address" what are you hoping for?

In Audit a field contains the IP address where the event originated
which, in the case of a login, should be the client. In the case of
LDAP the "client" is the LDAP client on the server which is the client
of eDirectory instead of the LDAP client on the user side. Doesn't help
as much as it could.

Good luck.

In an eDirectory model, I agree, Novell Audit reports the server's own
address as the ldap client.

Even when doing dstrace and packet scanning with the pktscan.nlm, the
user's workstation is not in the packet when the user is authenticating
into an application configured to use an ldap server. It shows that
applications server's address as the ldap client.

My reason for asking Jeff, (what was he hoping for), was to make sure HE
understood that the user's workstation address is not even available in
dstrace and pktscan files on his applications/services that are
configured to use his ldap service.

Correct and that will give him the information of LDAP I presume or
isn't LDAP stuff being logged ?

If Audit could do it he probably wouldn't be asking (Jeff knows Audit
better than me). I guess more to the point the Audit stuff gets the
information in its limited-usability form which means that Sentinel will
as well. I think I'm misunderstanding you but the long and short is
that Audit can't get the info and therefore neither can Sentinel (in
this case... Sentinel is obviously much more powerful than Audit but
we're limited by the Audit components which both products use).

Good luck.

Hi,

I know this is an old thread but wondering if anyone is aware of any advances to this situation since then. Currently experiencing a large amount of failed auths for the same user and wanting to know the origin of the ldap query, hoping to find a script which is using outdated credentials.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Sam.
