Set Record Login Entry

Use this group policy to specify whether the auditing service should add utmp entries for the cdash pseudo terminals (pty). The setting of this group policy affects the results of whoami and who commands.

If this group policy is enabled, the auditing service adds utmp entries for cdash pty processes. Under this scenario, the whoami command in an audited shell works as expected, but the who command lists logged-in users twice.

If this group policy is disabled or not configured, the auditing service does not create additional utmp entries. Under this scenario, the whoami command in an audited shell cannot determine complete user information.

Workaround: on some operating systems, the who --lookup command works, but the who command lists users only once.

To use this group policy:

1. Double click the policy in the right pane of the Group Policy Management Editor.
2. On the Policy tab, select Enabled.
3. Click OK to save settings in this policy.

This group policy modifies the dash.loginrecord setting in the configuration file /etc/centrifyda/centrifyda.conf.
