Audit Logging - remote IP address - IdP v3.4

[Lipscomb, Gary]

Hi,

Think I've found the issue

Item [1] below - cut and paste error

Should be

    <!-- Audit log. -->
    <appender name="IDP_AUDIT" class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.RollingFileAppender">
        <File>${idp.logfiles}/idp-audit.log</File>

        <rollingPolicy class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.TimeBasedRollingPolicy">
            <fileNamePattern>${idp.logfiles}/idp-audit-%d{yyyy-MM-dd}.log.gz</fileNamePattern>
            <maxHistory>${idp.loghistory}</maxHistory>
        </rollingPolicy>

        <encoder class="ch.qos.logback.classic.encoder.PatternLayoutEncoder">
            <charset>UTF-8</charset>
            <Pattern>%msg%mdc{idp.remote_addr}|%n</Pattern>
        </encoder>
    </appender>

A new field was added in audit.xml - the %X for Encrypted Assertions introduced in v3.4

    <util:map id="shibboleth.AuditFormattingMap">
        <entry key="Shibboleth-Audit" value="%T|%b|%I|%SP|%P|%IDP|%bb|%III|%u|%ac|%attr|%n|%i|%X" />
    </util:map>

We needed to add a "|" in the pattern for Audit log to split the fields

            <Pattern>%msg|%mdc{idp.remote_addr}|%n</Pattern>

In v3.3.3 of audit.xml the field deleimiter "|" is included after the last field but not in v3.4.4

      <entry key="Shibboleth-Audit" value="%T|%b|%I|%SP|%P|%IDP|%bb|%III|%u|%ac|%attr|%n|%i|" />


Arising from this should %a "Client address" be included by default in audit.xml

Regards

Gary

Subject: Audit Logging - remote IP address - IdP v3.4

Hi list,

We have noticed a change in the format of the  Remote IP address we capture in the idp-audit.log which we import into Splunk for analysis. The word "true" is appended to the remote IP address.
Is this an expected change from the MDC [5] or should I be looking elsewhere?

RHEL 7.6 Maipo
IdP v3.4.4
Tomcat 7

[1] logback.xml
        <encoder class="ch.qos.logback.classic.encoder.PatternLayoutEncoder">
            <charset>UTF-8</charset>
            <Pattern>%date{ISO8601} - %mdc{idp.remote_addr} - %level [%logger:%line] - %msg%n%ex{short}</Pattern>
        </encoder>
