login activity

We have an LDAP domain set up for OneView authentication.  Recently one of our OneVIew appliances started not allowing users to log in from that LDAP domain.  I know how to retrieve tasks via the REST API, but cannot find any login tasks in there.  Does anyone know how to identify a task related to a login attempt?  I want to see the error returned to figure out why the domain login is no longer working.

Tasks are for async operations that would otherwise block the UI or API from responding quickly.  Authentication attempts is not one of those operations.  As for troubleshooting this, you can log in with a local account and then validate the directory authentication configuration and any errors during the validation. Otherwise, you will need to generate an appliance support dump and open a support case to have it analyzed.

Thanks Chris, I guess we'll have to set up the audit log forwarding.  Trying to figure out why the LDAP authentication is not working.  Just stopped working on 28 Sep.  Would help if we could get an error message about why the login attempt was denied.

Thanks again.  Hopefully the audit log forwarding will help us.
