Does Secure Password Administrator keep a log of password changes and account lockout resets?

Resolution

Yes.  Secure Password Administrator (SPA) provides detailed auditing and notification.  When users change their passwords using SPA, the product sends an email to the profile owner. Depending on your email server, the time between the change and notification can be less than a second.

SPA stores a record of the user account used to reset passwords or unlock accounts in log files located by default in the following folder on the SPA computer: C:\Program Files\NetIQ\SPA\logs.
