AuditSurf

[dranakan]

Hello,

There is a software auditing alfresco : http://www.atolcd.com/btn-ll/audit-alfresco.html
It seems to be very good !!!

Atoldc creator, have you evaluate the loose of performance (approximately) having this audit on the server ?

I just have problem to start it (with Alfresco 3.2 / MySql):

Please let me know how you guys make out with Auditsurf.  I would like to see if it meets my requirements.

Thanks

Hi Bertrand,

I have managed to get AuditSurf with an amp build on jdk5 up and running. Alfresco runs fine. However when I try to logon with
the "admin" account on AuditSurf I get an error message pop-up stating:

Failed to loginThe remote server may be unavailable or your authentication details have not been recognized.‍‍

What connection is this about. Since I can logon to Alfresco with the same user ("admin" and appropriate password).
I have tried running both the alfresco.war and auditsurf.war on one localhost  jboss server and running alfresco.war on jboss (port 80) and auditsurf.war on a separate tomcat (port 8080) install (both on localhost).

When submitting the usr/pwd info in the login screen of AuditSurf I see the following in the jboss console:

14:36:29,609 INFO  [HttpMethodDirector] I/O exception (java.net.ConnectException) caught when processing request: Connection refused: connect14:36:29,609 INFO  [HttpMethodDirector] Retrying request‍‍‍

Regards,

Alex

I have set up Auditsurf with NTLM.

I already had share with NTLM working, build 2198, so basically included the same NTLM filter configuration in web.xml, but Igot "SEVERE: Error filterStart" so I realized that there was a problem with packaged jar files under WEB-INF/lib.

I had to copy alfresco-jlan-embed-3.2.jar and alfresco-web-framework-3.2.jar working files from share to auditsurf and it fixed the bug.

Got AuditSurf up and running on Alfresco 3.1.1
Had some port 8080 settings left in the webscript config file (changed those to port 80 since I am running the app on port 80).

Furthermore using the 3.1.1 version of the mmt tool on the auditsurf.amp file led to it not being deployed, although
the -list option said that the amp had been deployed.

Instead I copied the files from the .amp file manually to the correct directories inside alfresco.war.

First impression: It looks great. Still has to test it a bit more serious though.

Thanks for your help Bertrand.

Hi,

Can AuditSurf show the current users loggin in through CIFS or webscripts as wel? Or does it only monitor users loggin in via the Explorer?

Kind Regards

I am trying to add Auditsurf to ubuntu's package install for community.  IT does not come with apply_amps script  so I took the long way with the MMT.  I have no errors in the log files but no Auditsurf.  Any ideas?

Here are the steps I took use AuditSurf on the Ubuntu Community package:

sudo /etc/init.d/tomcat stopwget http://dl.alfresco.com/release/community/build-2039/alfresco-mmt-3.2.jar?dl_file=release/community/b... -O alfresco-mmt-3.2.jarwget http://forge.alfresco.com/frs/download.php/783/auditsurf-community-3.2-version.zipunzip auditsurf-community-3.2-version.zipsudo java -jar alfresco-mmt-3.2.jar install /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/alfresco.war  auditsurf.ampsudo rm -rf /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/alfrescosudo cp auditsurf.war /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/sudo /etc/init.d/tomcat start‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

I made one correction,  thanks it worked for me.
I had to move the auditsurf.amp infront of the alfresco.war file

New:

sudo java -jar alfresco-mmt-3.2.jar install auditsurf.amp /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/alfresco.war‍

Old:

sudo java -jar alfresco-mmt-3.2.jar install /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/alfresco.war  auditsurf.amp‍

Correct:

sudo /etc/init.d/tomcat stopwget http://dl.alfresco.com/release/community/build-2039/alfresco-mmt-3.2.jar?dl_file=release/community/b... -O alfresco-mmt-3.2.jarwget http://forge.alfresco.com/frs/download.php/783/auditsurf-community-3.2-version.zipunzip auditsurf-community-3.2-version.zipsudo java -jar alfresco-mmt-3.2.jar install auditsurf.amp /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/alfresco.war  sudo rm -rf /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/alfrescosudo cp auditsurf.war /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/sudo /etc/init.d/tomcat start‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍
