Set up the export of server audit records to a syslog server

The syslog server must be using TLS version 1.2, x509v3 certificates for authentication, and must use one of the following cipher suites:
  • TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384
  • TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384
  • TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256
  1. Using the same account that you used to install
    UEM
    , open a command prompt and run the following commands to upload a syslog CA certificate. The commands cannot contain any line breaks.
    SET BESRoot=C:\Program Files\BlackBerry\UEM

SET KEYSTORE_PATH=<path_to_CA_certificate>

java -cp “%BESRoot%\tools\lib\*” --add-exports java.base/sun.nio.ch=ALL-UNNAMED --add-exports java.base/jdk.internal.ref=ALL-UNNAMED --add-exports java.base/sun.security.provider.certpath=ALL-UNNAMED -Djava.library.path=“%BESRoot%\tools\lib\dll\x64” com.rim.platform.mdm.keymaster.KeyMaster -keystore “%KEYSTORE_PATH%” load -keystoreType SECURITY_AUDIT_SYSLOG_CACERTS -trusted -BESRoot “%BESRoot%”
  2. Run the following commands to configure mutual authentication and upload a client certificate for
    UEM
     to the syslog server. The commands cannot contain any line breaks.
    SET BESRoot=C:\Program Files\BlackBerry\UEM

SET KEYSTORE_PATH=<path_to_client_certificate>

SET KEYSTORE_PASSWORD=<user_defined_password>

java -cp “%BESRoot%\tools\lib\*” --add-exports java.base/sun.nio.ch=ALL-UNNAMED --add-exports java.base/jdk.internal.ref=ALL-UNNAMED --add-exports java.base/sun.security.provider.certpath=ALL-UNNAMED -Djava.library.path=“%BESRoot%\tools\lib\dll\x64” com.rim.platform.mdm.keymaster.KeyMaster -keystore “%KEYSTORE_PATH%” -password “%KEYSTORE_PASSWORD%” load -keystoreType SECURITY_AUDIT_SYSLOG_CLIENT -BESRoot “%BESRoot%”
    1. Change the hostname and port number to match your environment. For example:
      SET @v_hostname = ‘localhost’;
SET @v_port = ‘31000’;
    2. Set any syslog specific formatting attributes as described in the script.
  4. Execute the script against the
    UEM
     database.
  5. Restart the
    BlackBerry UEM Core
     service.
