Re: Finding IP address of Failed Login Attempt

If your system is at V5R4 you should use the new CPYAUDJRNE command

instead

of DSPAUDJRNE. Once the file has been created use your favorite query to
select and print the fields you are interested in. The IP address from
where the request originated should be in the header section of each

*TYPE5

audit record.

Much like the screen capture, CPYAUDJRNE gives me a lot of blank fields,
but no IP address. Remote port shows 636, remote address is blank.
Device name, local name, network name, object name and library name are
all blank. The various reserved columns are blank.

If you are on an earlier release you should first use CRTDUPOBJ
OBJ(QASYPWJ5) FROMLIB(QSYS) OBJTYPE(*FILE) TOLIB(QTEMP) to create a
physical file in QTEMP and then use DSPJRN with OUTFILFMT(*TYPE5) to

copy

the PW audit records to that file. The remaining steps to display the

data

will be the same as for V5R4.

We are on V5R4, as current on CUMEs as one can get. I assume that
CPYAUDJRNE displays with *TYPE5--there doesn't seem to be an option to
control that.

For kicks, I followed the steps as though we were on a prior release, and
I can see plenty of IP addresses under other types of entries. PW entries
do not have this information.
