setaudit_addr(2)            BSD System Calls Manual           setaudit_addr(2)


NAME

     setaudit_addr, setaudit(NOW DEPRECATED) -- set audit session state


SYNOPSIS

     #include <bsm/audit.h>
     #include <bsm/audit_session.h>

     int
     setaudit_addr(auditinfo_addr_t *auditinfo_addr, u_int length);


SYNOPSIS (NOW DEPRECATED)

     #include <bsm/audit.h>

     int
     setaudit(auditinfo_t *auditinfo);


DESCRIPTION

     The setaudit_addr() system call uses the auditinfo_addr_t data structure
     for the auditinfo_addr argument which supports Terminal IDs with large
     addresses such as those used in IP version 6.  It is defined as follows:
         struct auditinfo_addr {
              au_id_t         ai_auid;        /* Audit user ID. */
              au_mask_t       ai_mask;        /* Audit masks. */
              au_tid_addr_t   ai_termid;      /* Terminal ID. */
              au_asid_t       ai_asid;        /* Audit session ID. */
              u_int64_t       ai_flags;       /* Audit session flags */
         };
         typedef struct auditinfo_addr   auditinfo_addr_t;

     The ai_auid variable contains the audit identifier which is recorded in
     the audit log for each event the process caused. The value of AU_DEFAUDI-
     TID (-1) should not be used.  The exception is if the value of audit
     identifier is known at the start of the session but will be determined
     and set later. Until ai_auid is set to something other than AU_DEFAUDITID
     any audit events generated by the system with be filtered by the non-at-
     tributed audit mask.

     The au_mask_t data structure defines the bit mask for auditing successful
     and failed events out of the predefined list of event classes. It is
     defined as follows:
         struct au_mask {
              unsigned int    am_success;     /* success bits */
              unsigned int    am_failure;     /* failure bits */
         };
         typedef struct au_mask  au_mask_t;

     The au_tid_addr_t data structure includes a larger address storage field
     and an additional field with the type of address stored:
         struct au_tid_addr {
              dev_t           at_port;
              u_int32_t       at_type;
              u_int32_t       at_addr[4];
         };
         typedef struct au_tid_addr      au_tid_addr_t;

     The ai_asid variable contains the audit session ID which is recorded with
     every event caused by the process.  It can be any value in the range 1 to
     PID_MAX (99999).  If the value of AU_ASSIGN_ASID is used for ai_asid a
     unique session ID will be generated by the kernel.  The audit session ID
     will be returned in the ai_asid field on success.

     The ai_flags field is opaque to the kernel and can be used to store flags
     associated with the audit session.  Please see the <bsm/audit_session.h>
     header file for more infomration and flag definitions for this platform.

     The setaudit_addr system call require an appropriate privilege to com-
     plete.

     This system call should only be called once at the start of a new session
     and not again during the same session to update the session information.
     There are some exceptions, however.  The ai_auid field may be updated
     later if initially set to the value of AU_DEFAUDITID (-1).  Likewise, the
     ai_termid fields may be updated later if the at_type field in au_tid_addr
     is set to AU_IPv4 and the other ai_tid_addr fields are all set to zero.
     Creating a new session is done by setting the ai_asid field to an unique
     session value or AU_ASSIGN_ASID.  These system calls will fail when
     attempting to change the ai_auid or ai_termid fields once set to some-
     thing other than the default values.  The ai_flags field may be updated
     only according to local access control policy but this is usually accom-
     plished with auditon(2) using the A_SETSFLAGS command.  The audit prese-
     lection masks may be changed at any time but are usually updated with
     auditon(2)

     The setaudit() system call (NOW DEPRECATED) sets the active audit session
     state for the current process via the auditinfo_t pointed to by
     auditinfo.  The setaudit_addr() system call sets extended state via
     auditinfo_addr and length.

     The auditinfo_t data structure (NOW DEPRECATED) is defined as follows:
         struct auditinfo {
              au_id_t        ai_auid;         /* Audit user ID */
              au_mask_t      ai_mask;         /* Audit masks */
              au_tid_t       ai_termid;       /* Terminal ID */
              au_asid_t      ai_asid;         /* Audit session ID */
         };
         typedef struct auditinfo        auditinfo_t;

     The au_termid_t data structure (NOW DEPRECATED) defines the Terminal ID
     recorded with every event caused by the process. It is defined as fol-
     lows:
         struct au_tid {
              dev_t           port;
              u_int32_t       machine;
         };
         typedef struct au_tid   au_tid_t;


RETURN VALUES

     The setaudit_addr() function returns the value 0 if successful; otherwise
     the value -1 is returned and the global variable errno is set to indicate
     the error.


ERRORS

     [EFAULT]           A failure occurred while data transferred to or from
                        the kernel failed.

     [EINVAL]           Illegal argument was passed by a system call.

     [EPERM]            The process does not have sufficient permission to
                        complete the operation.

HISTORY

     The OpenBSM implementation was created by McAfee Research, the security
     division of McAfee Inc., under contract to Apple Computer Inc. in 2004.
     It was subsequently adopted by the TrustedBSD Project as the foundation
     for the OpenBSM distribution.

     setaudit_addr() replaced setaudit() in Mac OS X 10.7 to support longer
     terminal addresses such as those used by IP version 6.  setaudit() is now
     deprecated and setaudit_addr() should be used instead.
