Re: User Logon Auditing

I agree with Stephane, auditing shouldn't be a problem. Be certain to move SYS.AUD$ out of SYSTEM first:

    alter table sys.aud$ move tablespace tools

       storage (initial 128K next 128K);     alter index sys.i_aud1 rebuild tablespace tools

       storage (initial 128K next 128K);

Then setup session-level auditing:

    audit session;
