Note The audit log is overwritten after the number of days you specify.
Because the log contains a record of any illicit operations or logon
attempts, it is recommended that you maintain backup copies of the logs.
The logs reside in the single sign-on database in the SSO_Audit table. This
table is automatically backed up when you back up the database.
Step 4: Create an Application Definition
To create an application definition, you need to be logged on as a member of single
sign-on administrator account or as an enterprise application definition manager
account. To create an application definition, do the following:
1. On the SharePoint Portal Server Central Administration for server_name page,
in the Component Configuration section, click Manage settings for single
sign-on.
Alternatively, click Start, point to All Programs, point to SharePoint
Portal Server, and then click SharePoint Portal Server Single Sign-On
Administration.
2. On the Manage Settings for Single Sign-On for server_name page, in the Enterprise
Application Definition Settings section, click Manage settings for
enterprise application definitions.
3. On the Manage Enterprise Application Definitions page, click New Item.
4. On the Create Enterprise Application Definition page, in the Application and
Contact Information section, do the following:
a. In the Display name box, type a display name for this application
definition.
When administrator changes the settings for the application definition at
a later stage, the application definition is listed using its display name.
The display name is what the user sees on the logon form when entering
credentials on the first access.
Tip If you enter a long name with no spaces in it for the display name, the
entire name might not be displayed.
b. In the Application name box, type an application name for the application
definition. The application name is used by developers.
