Enable remote Event Log access for Agentless monitoring

SecureAuth Idp Version affected: 9.0.2 onwards
Description:
Since 9.0.2, the OVA that new customers are sent contains a locked down environment which prevents remote access to the Event Log. We recommend keeping these lock down settings as it allows for a more secure machine. 

However, some agentless monitoring tools require remote access to the Event log. 

Cause: Lock down settings

Resolution:

1. On the IdP Open up the "Windows Firewall with Advanced Security"

2. On the Inbound Rules,
2i. Enable Com+ Network Access (DCOM-In)

​


2ii. Enable Remote Event Log Management (NP-In)
2iii. Enable Remote Event Log Management (RPC)
2iv. Enable Remote Event Log Management (RPC-EPMAP)

3. Open Services.msc and set the Server Service​ to Automatic and then Start the Server service.

4. Open Regedit, Expand the tree to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft\ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ policies \ system.

5. Look for “LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy” and give it the value of “1”. Click OK. If it didn't exist, Create a new key (Right click -> New -> choose “DWORD Value (32bit)”) and name it LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy and give it the value of 1

6. Reboot the IdP
