Security Manager for iSeries helps secure your enterprise from internal and external attacks. In real-time, the product monitors, analyzes, and consolidates events from message queues on monitored iSeries servers to detect a variety of occurrences and alert you of them. When significant events occur, Security Manager for iSeries sends alerts to Security Manager and can email or page your staff so they can quickly take a corrective action. Security Manager includes the following event classifications:
Security Manager can also classify as events any messages received from your system operator message queue (QSYSOPR), history log (QHST), or any message queue as events. Security Manager for iSeries provides a powerful, yet simple-to-use solution that collects security journal (QAUDJRN) data from various sources throughout your enterprise. Security Manager consolidates the events to the log archive that provides centralized access, which is critical for meeting audit requirements. Security Manager provides access to your data in the form of views and reports to ensure the overall effectiveness of your security policy. For example, Security Manager for iSeries enables you to evaluate the following:
Providing QAUDJRN data to Security Manager delivers an archival and forensics solution for managing event logs from iSeries servers throughout your enterprise in a single, central console. You can run, schedule, filter, and sort forensic analysis reports. NetIQ often makes improvements to modules in direct response to suggestions from our customers.

Known IssuesNetIQ Corporation strives to ensure our products provide quality solutions for your enterprise software needs. The following issues are currently being researched. If you need further assistance with any issue, please contact Technical Support.
Upgrading Requires Updated Versions of Previously Installed iSeries ModulesThe Security Manager for iSeries module replaces the Log Manager for iSeries and Intrusion Manager for iSeries modules. However, if you upgrade from Log Manager for iSeries to the Security Manager for iSeries module, you must also use the Module Installer to install the latest version of the existing Log Manager for iSeries module, available on the NetIQ AutoSync Server. In the Module Installer, the name of the Log Manager for iSeries module is "Log Manager for iSeries (Obsolete)," located in the "zzz Obsolete Modules - Only select if already installed" category.
If you did not previously install the Log Manager for iSeries or Intrusion Manager for iSeries modules, you only need to install the Security Manager for iSeries module. Superseded Release Notes Not Removed on UpgradeThe Security Manager for iSeries module replaces the Log Manager for iSeries and Intrusion Manager for iSeries modules. However, a known issue exists where Security Manager cannot remove old Release Notes files when installing updated modules. Release Notes are installed by default in the \Program Files\NetIQ Security Manager\OnePoint\Documentation\Release Notes folder on the central computer, but may have been moved or copied to a different location in your environment. After upgrading this module, you should manually delete any superseded Release Notes in the default folder or in other folders. Removal of Monitoring GuidesSince monitoring information for updated Security Manager modules is now available in the module Release Notes, monitoring guides have been discontinued. However, a known issue exists where Security Manager cannot remove old monitoring guides when installing updated modules. To reduce the risk of users referencing outdated monitoring guides, Security Manager now replaces the old monitoring guide in the default documentation folder with a blank monitoring guide. Monitoring guides are installed by default in the \Program Files\NetIQ Security Manager\OnePoint\Documentation\Monitoring Guides folder on the central computer, but may have been moved or copied to a different location in your environment. After installing an updated module, you should manually delete any outdated monitoring guides that were copied or moved to other folders. Superseded Module References in Installation Guide for iSeriesAlthough the Security Manager for iSeries module replaces the previous Log Manager for iSeries and Intrusion Manager for iSeries modules, the existing Installation Guide for NetIQ Security Solutions for iSeries included in the NetIQ Security Solutions for iSeries installation kit refers to the superseded modules. Any reference to either Log Manager for iSeries or Intrusion Manager for iSeries should be treated as a reference to the Security Manager for iSeries module.
