Auditing/logging user account creation and user rights modification

[Sehume]

I would like to know how one could log (audit log that they can review) user account creations and changes in user profiles/rights on VMS. Can you please give any advise on how this can be performed.

Use $ SET AUDIT/ENABLE=AUTHORIZATION with either /ALARM (messages go to SECURITY operator) or /AUDIT (messages go to system security audit log file).

Use anal/audit/event=authorization sys$manager:/full to look at audit entries.

with /alarms you can also pass the message to a mailbox (set audit/listener) and write a program that passes the alarm to your favourite monitoring tool.
