DB2X-00-011000 - DB2 must generate audit records when security objects are deleted

Information

The removal of security objects from the database/DBMS would seriously degrade a system's information assurance posture. If such an event occurs, it must be logged.

Solution

Run the following command to define an audit policy with the needed subset using the CREATE AUDIT POLICY SQL statement:
DB2> CREATE AUDIT POLICY <DB audit policy name>
 CATEGORIES SECMAINT STATUS BOTH, OBJMAINTSTATUS STATUS BOTH, CONTEXT STATUS BOTH
 ERROR TYPE AUDIT

To modify an existing audit policy, replace 'CREATE' with 'ALTER' in the preceding statement. Only the categories explicitly named in the statement will be affected. In this case, the changes take effect immediately.

If CREATE was used above, run the following command to apply the policy created above to the database:
DB2> AUDIT DATABASE USING POLICY <DB audit policy name>

Note: The SECMAINT command grants a role and the OBJMAINT command sets the grant on a user defined function.
