Login history

The Rational® DOORS® database server can keep a record of every failed login and every successful login. By default, the database server only records login failures.

The database server logs the information in a text file called login_history.txt. This file is stored in <server_data_folder>\v6data\logs.

On Windows, the ServerData entry in the registry points to the location of the server data. The default location of the ServerData entry is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Telelogic\DOORS_Server\9.3\Config.

On Solaris, the login_history.txt file is stored in $SERVERDATA/v6data/logs.

To show the login history, open the login_history.txt file in a text editor.

Information might be recorded in two formats: local time and universal coordinated time (UTC) time. For example:
Thu Mar 22 14:17:36 2012 [LAPTOP_ONE] Login for account User_1
UTC Thu Mar 22 13:22:22 2012 [LAPTOP_TWO] Login for account Administrator
UTC Thu Mar 22 13:22:22 2012 [LAPTOP_TWO] Login for account User_2
UTC Fri Mar 23 09:09:55 2012 [LAPTOP_THREE] Login for account User_3
Fri Mar 23 10:23:59 2012 [LAPTOP_THREE] Login for account Administrator
Fri Mar 23 10:24:25 2012 [LAPTOP_ONE] Login for account User_1
Fri Mar 23 10:28:31 2012 [LAPTOP_TWO] Login for account User_2
UTC Fri Mar 23 09:32:45 2012 [LAPTOP_TWO] Login for account Administrator
For information about UTC in Rational DOORS, see Date and time formats.
Note: The login history file can get large. Monitor its size regularly and, if necessary, delete it. To preserve the information move the file to another location. When you move or delete the login history file, Rational DOORS automatically creates a file in the logs folder.
