Goal
This knowledge article reflects updated product names. Oracle Integration Classic (OIC-C) was formerly known as Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC). Please see KM <document 2493395.1> for the full list of recently renamed PaaS services.
In any cloud environment, when user look at the log entries in /var/log/secure file, they can see multiple unknown login attempts made to the box
For eg:
Feb 9 02:53:01 <Instance Name>-wls-1 sshd[24535]: User <some random user name> from xx.xxx.xxx.xxx not allowed because not listed in AllowUsers
Feb 9 02:53:01 <Instance Name>-wls-1 sshd[24536]: input_userauth_request: invalid user <some random user name>
Feb 9 02:53:02 <Instance Name>-wls-1 sshd[24536]: Received disconnect from xx.xxx.xxx.xxx: 11:
Feb 9 02:53:01 <Instance Name>-wls-1 sshd[24535]: User <some random user name> from xx.xxx.xxx.xxx not allowed because not listed in AllowUsers
Feb 9 02:53:01 <Instance Name>-wls-1 sshd[24536]: input_userauth_request: invalid user <some random user name>
Feb 9 02:53:02 <Instance Name>-wls-1 sshd[24536]: Received disconnect from xx.xxx.xxx.xxx: 11:
Need to know the reason for the same and whether anyone is accessing the cloud instance
