WARNING: Logon attempts are audited

Hi,

I have come across a strange warning message in my production environment. We have setup if the job completed with warnings, it should abort. But the jobs has been completed(Extraction and load). Sequencer is aborted due to the below warning message:

WARNING: Logon attempts are audited. Access and use allowed
Warning|| for authorized purposes only. Violators will be prosecuted.

Kindly let me know how this can be resolved.

Thanks,

No clue. Can you give us some context? This is coming from the Sequence job at what point / from what stage?

That message is a typical generic UNIX logon message, it is often found at "/etc/motd" and has nothing to do with DataStage, and is most likely not the cause of your problems.

Seems after the jobs are executed you are running some ssh command or something similar and you are receiving the banner as mentioned by Arnd. But this banner should not cause an issue unless you are not filtering out when capturing and validating the stdout. Is there anything else which you missed to mention.

Which activity in the sequence throws this error? What is the complete error message?

Did you check for the contents of "/etc/motd"?

Hi ArndW,

Yes, i did check it with motd file. It doesnt have the above mentioned message.
It contains generic access policy message.

Thanks,

Can you cut and paste the EXACT message from your log file please.

never seen a copy stage throw that. That's why the exact message will help. It will show us which stage threw the warning.

Are you working in a cluster or accessing any remote machines?

Pretty sure this is coming from somewhere on your UNIX system, perhaps from some add-on security module. Do you get the same message when logging in via a telnet session?

Hi Ray,

My Bad. Now i could see all of my jobs which has been completed with warnings or finished(without warnings) contains the warning message throughout the project.

I suspect DS admin has truned-on something to audit, but when i questioned the same, he hasn't done that. Only particular project(Production) has the warning message.

Well, it's at your site. You will just have to do some more in-depth detective work to find out where it's coming from. You have not answered my questions about telnet connections.
