  • 1.  Stats gathering - pdweb_authn_pass

    According to the guide, The pdweb.authn statistics component gathers information about WebSEAL authentication.

    I would like to know what this authentication refers to as we use an EAI.

    From an EAI perspective the pdweb.authn statistics components will refer to the amount of time that it takes for WebSEAL to generate a credential using the information provided by the EAI application.  It does not include the amount of time that it took the EAI application to authenticate the user and produce the authentication headers.

     

    I hope that this answers your question.

    I think you are referring to the timing information? If so, what do the other non-timing infos produce, like the pass and fail infos when using EAI?

    pass - The total number of successful authentications.
    fail - The total number of failed authentications.
    pwd exp - The total number of authentication attempts that were made with an expired password.
    max - The maximum time for a single authentication process.
    avg - The average time for a single authentication process.
    total - The total time for all authentication processing.

    Anu,

     

    They all correspond to WebSEAL's ability to process the authentication data which is received from the EAI application.  For example, pass is the number of EAI authentication responses which were successfully processed by WebSEAL.  The only statistic which won't appear during an EAI authentication is 'pwd exp' as EAI authentication does not deal directly with passwords.

     

    I hope that this helps.
