In the IIS logs:

{Date and time} {IP Address} POST /api/AuditConfiguration - 448 – {IP Address} - - 403 503 5 X
{Date and time} {IP Address} POST /api/AuditConfiguration - 448 - {IP Address} - - 403 503 5 X
{Date and time} {IP Address} POST /api/AuditConfiguration - 448 - {IP Address} - - 403 503 5 X

 

Cause

The Enhanced Auditing feature requires specifying the IP address of the Accelerator server to be added to the IIS AuditingServer virtual directory’s IP Address and domain name restrictions settings.  On an Accelerator server that has both IPV4 and IPV6 installed, specifying only the IPV4 address will cause any attempts to configure the auditing actions to not be available.

Resolution

Allow the IPV6 address for the Accelerator server in the Auditing Server virtual directory’s IP address restrictions.

  1. Obtain the IPV6 IP address of the Accelerator  server.  This can be through the IIS logs when referencing Port 448 or using the command ipconfig /all.
  2. Open IIS Manager.
  3.  Navigate to the AuditingServer virtual directory.
  4. Open the IP Address and Domain Restrictions object.
  5. Click the Add Allow Entry… option.
  6. Paste the IPV6 address into the Specific IP address: field.
  7. Click the OK button.
  8. Use the Services MMC to stop the Enterprise Vault Accelerator Manager Service (EVAMS).
  9. In an Administrative Command Prompt, execute iisreset.
  10. When the iisreset command has successfully completed, start the EVAMS.

Accessing the Configuration widget > Audit Settings tab should have no error message about Auditing not being configured and the Edit button should now be available.

Applies to:

CA/VAS 14.1.0 and greater, DA 14.4.0 and greater.

 

Issue/Introduction

After installing Enhanced Auditing for Compliance Accelerator (CA) / Veritas Advanced Supervision (VAS) 14.1 or greater, or Discovery Accelerator (DA) 14.4 or greater, accessing the Configuration widget > Settings > Auditing feature shows a message that auditing is not configured.
