27.1 Prerequisites

This report only indicates whether a user’s password has changed and when a change might have occurred. It was not designed to show how the password changed (for example, from a User Application Password Change operation, or a User Application Forgot Password operation). Therefore, it will show that ablake changed her password on 11-Jan-2012, but will not indicate what caused the change. If you want a report to show how a password changed, you would need to create a new report and a new view.

One prerequisite to using this report (or any event-based report) is to enable events from eDirectory to reporting (EAS auditing). You can accomplish this by using iManager. Go to Roles and Tasks> eDirectory Auditing>Audit Configuration. Provide a server name for NCP Server name:. Then, under Novell Audit, select the events you want to generate. In this case, select Change password.
