OpenEdge Audit Archiving

The Audit Archiving utility supplied by OpenEdge authenticates using any of the following methods:

The user ID of the current operating system process must have the audit data archiver privilege. (No specific user credentials are supplied.)
The -userid and -password parameters on the command line must match a user account in the _User table.
The -userid and -password parameters must still be authenticated even when no _User table accounts exist. The user ID must be an audit data archiver user, and the password must match the database MAC key.

Each time an audit archive is executed, the event is recorded in the audit data.
