Last updated on JULY 27, 2022

Symptoms

The following documentation states that auditing can be configured for the Authentication Failure run-time events:

• Remote IP
• User Name
• User DN
• Resource ID
• Authentication Scheme ID
• Failure Error Code
• Retry count
• Authentication Policy ID
• Partner ID

Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide for Oracle Access Management
8.3.2 Access Manager Run-time Events You Can Audit

Enabling Filter Preset to All for OAM auditing does not log the User DN or Failure Error Code.

In the OAM Managed Server audit.log below the User Name (uid=<VALUE>) is logged, but not the User DN (cn=tes<VALUE>,cn=Users,dc=example,dc=com).

Also, authentication to the resource /cgi-bin/printenv failed ("Authentication" false), but the Failure Error Code (unclear whether this should be 49 or OAMSSA-20023) due to invalid credentials is not logged.

OAM VERSIONS KNOWN TO BE AFFECTED: OAM 11.1.2.2.x - 11.1.2.3.x
