Code Points

A code point is a location in the application server program where DCE audit APIs are used. Code points generally correspond to operations or functions offered by the application server that requires audit. For example, if a bank server offers the cash withdrawal function acct_withdraw( ), this function may be deemed to be an auditable event and be designated as a code point.

Code points are already in place in the DCE Security Service, Distributed Time Service, and Audit Service code. Code points and their associated events for the DCE Security Service are documented in the sec_audit_events(5sec) reference page. Code points and their associated events for the DCE Distributed Time Service are documented in the dts_audit_events(5sec) reference page. Code points and their associated events for the DCE Audit Service are documented in the aud_audit_events(5sec) reference page.
