Hello,

We want to implement a user review process on our gateways. I'm writing a script to log the user login, names and roles using system.user.getUsers.

Is it possible to get the last connection date as well?

Regards

Julien Rouillard

Not from those methods, but you can turn on auditing. That will have it. (Going forward.)

I would need to enable the auditing on each project, not just create an audit profile. Am I correct?

Thank you

Julien

Logging in I believe is a gateway scoped audit event, not a project. I could be wrong though. Not sure which part you need to enable auditing of, as I just enable it for everything

Unfortunately, it's only logging in the gateway that is covered by the audit config, not in the application, I would need to activate it in each application.

are you trying to log anything other than login or logout like page navigation or actions in the client session?

I want to do user review, so I can disable user accounts that are no longer used. So I just need the last connection date, that's what prompted the audit.

if you have an audit profile setup in the gateway and selected in the project properties it will allow you to do that.
