Examples

This code example has two parts: a configuration-file excerpt, followed by code that shows how to customize the WebAuthenticationSuccessAuditEvent event.

This following is an excerpt of the configuration file's provider and eventMappings sections. They are already set by default. The only thing you need to do is to provide the setup for the rules element in the healthMonitoring section.

<healthMonitoring  
  enabled="true"  
  heartBeatInterval="0">  

    <providers>  
      // Configure the provider to process   
      // the health events.  
      <add name="EventLogProvider"  
         type="System.Web.Management.EventLogWebEventProvider,  
         System.Web,Version=2.0.3600.0,Culture=neutral,  
         PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a"/>  
    </providers>  

    <eventMappings>  
       <clear />  
       // Configure the custom event   
       // to handle the audit events.   
        <add name="SampleWebAuthenticationSuccessAuditEvent"   
          type="SamplesAspNet.SampleWebAuthenticationSuccessAuditEvent,  
          webauthsuccessaudit, Version=1.0.1735.23144, Culture=neutral,   
          PublicKeyToken=dd969eda3f3f6ae1, processorArchitecture=MSIL" />  

     </eventMappings>  
     <rules>  
       <clear/>  
       // Establish the connection between custom event   
       // and the provider that must process it.  
      <add name="Log Authentication Success Audits"   
        eventName="SampleWebAuthenticationFailureAuditEvent"  
        provider="EventLogProvider"   
        profile="Custom" />\  
     </rules>  

</healthMonitoring>

Remarks

ASP.NET health monitoring allows production and operations staff to manage deployed Web applications. The System.Web.Management namespace contains the health-event types responsible for packaging application health-status data and the provider types responsible for processing this data. It also contains supporting types that help during the management of health events.

The following list describes the features for which ASP.NET raises events of type WebAuthenticationSuccessAuditEvent.

• Forms Authentication. Successful conditions are audited. Success audits include the user name that was authenticated. Instead, failure audits do not include the user name, since they typically result from a ticket that failed decryption or validation. Both contain the client IP address. The related event audit code is AuditFormsAuthenticationSuccess.

• Membership. Successful conditions are audited. Both success and failure audits contain the username that was attempted. Neither form of audit will contain the password that was attempted, because that would risk persisting a valid password in the log. The related event audit code is AuditMembershipAuthenticationSuccess.

When a WebAuthenticationSuccessAuditEvent is raised, by default it updates the Authentication Success Events Raised performance counter. To view this performance counter in System Monitor (PerfMon), in the Add Counters window select ASP.NET in the Performance object drop-down list, select the Authentication Success Events Raised performance counter, and click the Add button. For more information, see Using the System Monitor (PerfMon) with ASP.NET Applications.
