The Trails events EZGH SSO records for management changes and for directory sign-in activity.

EZGH SSO records events in Trails with eventSource sso.ezghcloud.com.

Management events

Every management API call is recorded like any other API call, with the operation’s name as eventName, such as CreateUser, SuspendUser, CreateApplication or UpdateAssignments. The API reference lists the operations; reading the catalog isn’t recorded. Secrets are never recorded: client secrets, identity provider client secrets, SCIM tokens, provisioning bearer tokens, and service provider metadata documents.

When EZGH SSO finds an email domain’s verification record, or loses it, it records a service event, UpdateDomainVerification (userIdentity.type EzghService), naming the domain and its new status. A custom domain’s status changes are recorded the same way, as UpdateCustomDomainStatus.

Directory sync

Every change your identity provider makes over inbound SCIM, and every refused change, is an ApiCall: ProvisionUser, UpdateProvisionedUser, SuspendUser, ReactivateUser, DeprovisionUser, ProvisionGroup, UpdateProvisionedGroup, UpdateGroupMembership or DeprovisionGroup. userIdentity is the EzghService scim.ezghcloud.com, with the SCIM token’s ID as principalId and its name as userName. resources name the directory and the user or group. Reads, and requests refused with 401, 429 or 503, aren’t recorded.

Provisioning pushes

Each outbound provisioning push that changes something at an application is a ServiceEvent by the EzghService sso.ezghcloud.com, naming the application and the user or group: ProvisionUser, DeprovisionUser or ProvisionGroup. A push that stops is recorded once, with errorCode provisioning_failed. Attribute values are never recorded.

Directory activity

What directory users do at your portal is recorded in your organization too, with userIdentity.type SsoUser and the directory in resources:

eventName Records eventType
SignIn A successful sign-in at the portal SignIn
SignInFailed A failed sign-in, including for an email address that isn’t a user SignIn
MfaChallenge A second-factor attempt ApiCall
Federate A sign-in through an identity provider, or its refusal for a known user ApiCall
AuthorizeApplication An OIDC grant or a SAML assertion issued, or its refusal (not_assigned, a reused code or refresh token) ApiCall
SignOut A sign-out, logout from an application (OIDC or SAML), or a refresh token revoked by its client ApiCall
  • A failed sign-in for an email address that isn’t a user has userName HIDDEN_DUE_TO_SECURITY_REASONS, and the address appears nowhere in the event.
  • Token refreshes aren’t recorded.
  • Passwords, TOTP codes, passkey assertions, authorization codes, tokens, cookies, client secrets, identity provider responses, SAML assertions, NameIDs and attribute values are never recorded.

Console access

When a directory user opens the console through console access, the portal records AuthorizeApplication for the console application (or its refusal, not_assigned), and the console sign-in is recorded as AssumeBot in signin.ezghcloud.com, with userIdentity.type SsoUser. A refused sign-in has errorCode none_mapped or not_trusted. Everything they do in the console, and with the temporary API keys they get, is recorded as the bot, with the person in userIdentity.sessionContext.sourceIdentity. Getting a temporary API key is recorded as CreateTemporaryApiKey in signin.ezghcloud.com. See Console access: Auditing.
