Symantec Critical System Protection

The JSA DSM for Symantec Critical System Protection can collect event logs from Symantec Critical System Protection systems.

The following table identifies the specifications for the Symantec Critical System Protection DSM.

To integrate Symantec Critical System Protection with JSA, complete the following steps:

1. If automatic updates are not enabled, download and install the most current version of the following RPMs from the Juniper Downloads onto your JSA console:

   • Protocol-JDBC RPM

   • Symantec Critical System Protection RPM

2. For each Symantec Critical System Protection instance, configure Symantec Critical System Protection to enable communication with JSA.

   Ensure that JSA can poll the database for events by using TCP port 1433 or the port that is configured for your log source. Protocol connections are often disabled on databases and extra configuration steps are required in certain situations to allow connections for event polling. Configure firewalls that are located between Symantec Critical System Protection and JSA to allow traffic for event polling.

3. If JSA does not automatically discover Symantec Critical System Protection, create a log source for each Symantec Critical System Protection instance on the JSA console. The following table describes the parameters that require specific values to collect events from Symantec Critical System Protection::

   Parameter	Description
   Log Source Type	Symantec Critical System Protection
   Protocol Configuration	JDBC
   Log Source Identifier	Type a name for the log source. The name can't contain spaces and must be unique among all log sources of the log source type that is configured to use the JDBC protocol. If the log source collects events from a single appliance that has a static IP address or host name, use the IP address or host name of the appliance as all or part of the Log Source Identifier value; for example, 192.168.1.1 or JDBC192.168.1.1. If the log source doesn't collect events from a single appliance that has a static IP address or host name, you can use any unique name for the Log Source Identifier value; for example, JDBC1, JDBC2.
   Database Type	MSDE
   Database Name	SCSPDB
   IP or Hostname	The IP address or host name of the database server.
   Port	Enter the JDBC port. The JDBC port must match the listener port that is configured on the remote database. The database must permit incoming TCP connections. The valid range is 1 - 65535. The defaults are: MSDE - 1433 Postgres - 5432 MySQL - 3306 Sybase - 1521 Oracle - 1521 Informix - 9088 DB2 - 50000 If a database instance is used with the MSDE database type, you must leave the Port field blank.
   Username	A user account for JSA in the database.
   Password	The password that is required to connect to the database.
   Authentication Domain	If you did not select Use Microsoft JDBC, Authentication Domain is displayed.
   Database Instance	The domain for MSDE that is a Windows domain. If your network does not use a domain, leave this field blank.
   Predefined Query (Optional)	Select a predefined database query for the log source. If a predefined query is not available for the log source type, administrators can select the none option.
   Table Name	CSPEVENT_VW
   Select List	The list of fields to include when the table is polled for events. You can use a comma-separated list or type an asterisk (*) to select all fields from the table or view. If a comma-separated list is defined, the list must contain the field that is defined in the Compare Field.
   Compare Field	EVENT_ID
   Use Prepared Statements	Prepared statements enable the JDBC protocol source to set up the SQL statement, and then run the SQL statement numerous times with different parameters. For security and performance reasons, most JDBC protocol configurations can use prepared statements.
   Start Date and Time (Optional)	Type the start date and time for database polling in the following format: yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm with HH specified by using a 24-hour clock. If the start date or time is clear, polling begins immediately and repeats at the specified polling interval.
   Polling Interval	Enter the amount of time between queries to the event table. To define a longer polling interval, append H for hours or M for minutes to the numeric value The maximum polling interval is one week.
   EPS Throttle	The number of Events Per Second (EPS) that you do not want this protocol to exceed. The valid range is 100 - 20,000.
   Use Named Pipe Communication	If you did not select Use Microsoft JDBC, Use Named Pipe Communication is displayed. MSDE databases require the user name and password field to use a Windows authentication user name and password and not the database user name and password. The log source configuration must use the default that is named pipe on the MSDE database.
   Database Cluster Name	If you selected Use Named Pipe Communication, the Database Cluster Name parameter is displayed. If you are running your SQL server in a cluster environment, define the cluster name to ensure named pipe communication functions properly.
   Use NTLMv2	If you did not select Use Microsoft JDBC, Use NTLMv2 is displayed. Select this option if you want MSDE connections to use the NTLMv2 protocol when they are communicating with SQL servers that require NTLMv2 authentication. This option does not interrupt communications for MSDE connections that do not require NTLMv2 authentication. Does not interrupt communications for MSDE connections that do not require NTLMv2 authentication.
   Use Microsoft JDBC	If you want to use the Microsoft JDBC driver, you must enable Use Microsoft JDBC.
   Use SSL	Select this option if your connection supports SSL. This option appears only for MSDE.
   Microsoft SQL Server Hostname	If you selected Use Microsoft JDBC and Use SSL, the Microsoft SQL Server Hostname parameter is displayed. You must type the host name for the Microsoft SQL server.
