215.0. "How to get OPCOM message "%SECLGF, User on VAX1::SYSTEM used an invalid password" ?" by OSLAGE::AGE_P (Aage Ronning, Oslo, Norway, (DTN 872-8464)) Wed Feb 19 1997 04:13

OpenVMS VAX V6.1, BRS V1.4

This should be easy, BUT I can't find what's generating the %SECLGF message(the 
second OPCOM message belove). SECURITY_SERVER?
Console Manager is checking for it at a customer site and last thursday the
second OPCOM stopped arriving on their two main nodes in their BRS cluster.
They still get both OPCOM's on their Quorum node, but only the LOGIN-F-INVPWD
on two of them.

I can't find the difference between the working node and the two others....

Any hints to get the %SECLGF message back?

Example of how it used to look like on ALL nodes:
-------------------------------------------------
Username: SYSTEM
Password: <Giving an invalid PW>

    �ge,
    
    some Polycenter software should be generating those %SECLGF messages.
    Maybe it's not started/running anymore ?

215.2BRS$SAL generates SECLGF messagesOSLLAV::AGE_PAage Ronning, Oslo, Norway, (DTN 872-8464)Wed Feb 19 1997 07:346
    I found it: It's the BRS$SAL process that generates the messages.
    The process are there, but I will restart BRS and Audit on all nodes...
    
    Thanks for the hint, Volker.

   When in doubt, turn on auditing of the use of OPER privilege, perform
   the logfail, and check the audits.  :-)
