  Assist Auditing Authorization Activity? (Security) 
 The Question is:
 
Dear Wizard
 
Is it possible to log the changes made by VMS AUTHORIZE to the UAF, and the
RIGHTS and NETPROXY databases, who did what and when, we don't require any
journalling as such, just some kind of logging so we can trace problems to
changes made via AUTHORIZE. I
t can be especially difficult after deletion of critical objects to know
what's gone.
 
I would be grateful for any help you can provide.

 The Answer is:
    To log all UAF and RIGHTSLIST changes to the secutrity audit journal
    use:
 
    	$ SET AUDIT/AUDIT/ENABLE=AUTHORIZE
 
    to send the messages to the console use:
 
    	$ SET AUDIT/ALARM/ENABLE=AUTHORIZE
 
 
    Here are some examples:
