Capturing date & time when a person logs in or logs out

Hello,

I have a requirement to capture the date & time when a person logs into the application or the server. And also when he logs out of the application or the server.

I am aware that DomLog.nsf can assist in meeting the requirements. However the DomLog.nsf gives too much of information.

Can any one suggest how can I just get the log in & log out information.

Thanks in advance

I would suggest saving the information needed by using the Postopen and QueryClose events of the database. You can also have an agent that goes through the domlog.nsf and gets the necessary info for you.

Thanks Carlos for your reply.

I too thought that I can use the webquery open event to capture the log in details. However looking for a quick solution that domino can provide.

I have many applications on the server & adding code to the webquery open can be a tedious job.

Even if I get the log in time to the server that should be enough to start with.

Regards,

Would setting the “Log_Authentication=1” variable in the INI file on the server help?

That puts records in the console log (/notespath/IBM_TECHNICAL_SUPPORT/console.log if you also set “console_log_enabled=1” in the ini file).

Entries like:

[22535:00072-00034] Authenticate {F7E00B5C}: CN=administrator/O=xxxx
