For completeness of forensic analysis, it is necessary to track failed attempts to log on to the DBMS. While positive identification may not be possible in a case of failed authentication, as much information as possible about the incident must be captured.

Check Text ( C-6891r291561_chk )
Review the DBMS audit settings. If an audit record is not generated each time a user (or other principal) attempts but fails to log on or connect to the DBMS (including attempts where the user ID is invalid/unknown), this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-6891r291562_fix)
Configure DBMS audit settings to generate an audit record each time a user (or other principal) attempts but fails to log on or connect to the DBMS. Include attempts where the user ID is invalid/unknown. Ensure that the audit record contains the time of the event and the user ID that was entered (if any).
