FileNet - Reporting total number of user logged in to Filenet during a given period of time


We need to report the total number of users those have logged into the Filenet environment during every quarter. Is there a way to do it?

I have seen an environment where a custom logon event was created. Whenever a user logs on this event will be raised and a custom entry may go into a staging DB from where the reports can be generated.

How to achieve this?


Solution

  • I'm not sure I'm right about this, but I don't think there is a way to audit logon events, at least there is nothing in the P8 KC. And I would say this is because of the way the CE works, the JAAS context is actually built against the server, then calls are just authenticated and authorized, there isn't really a logon phase.

    However, what I'm sure of, is that it is definitely doable on the application side because there, there is a logon action initiated by the user. How do your user connect to your platform? Are they using Content Navigator, Workplace XT, a custom application you developed or the Java API, or maybe all of them? Please provide more context.

    For instance, if they are using Content Navigator, then a simple plugin listening for the login event and logging this event would to the trick.
