The second is a signature of the data that can be used to validate that the data was actually generated by DRA. To validate the signature, an application must have the public key for the signature.

The XML string consists of the following information:

User

The assistant administrator who performed the operation

Sid

The SID of the assistant administrator who performed the operation

Tid

The DRA auditing transaction ID to ensure each event is unique

SubjectUserSid

The SID of the DRA service account or access account that actually updated AD
