Add auditing to successful authentications

IBM i records failed authentications, which appear in the audit journal entries, but is missing a unified entry type for successful authentications. From an auditing perspective, this makes it hard to comprehensively track and report on successful authentication. Adding auditing of successful authentication would make the retrieval and use of this data for security more efficient and more comprehensive.

The submitter works for a company that creates IBM i security solutions and we have regular requests from customers about how succesful authentications can be tracked.

    IBM will use this request as input to planning but no commitment is made or implied. This request will be updated in the future if IBM implements it. IBM will use votes and comments from others in the community to help prioritize this request.
