ServiceSecurityAuditBehavior Class
Specifies the audit behavior of security events. In general, the security events consist of authentication events such as transport, message or negotiate authentication and authorization event. For more information, see ServiceAuthorizationManager.

The ServiceSecurityAuditBehavior class is used to audit Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) authentication events. When auditing is enabled, either successful or failed authentication attempts (or both) can be audited. The events are written to one of three event logs: application, security, or the default log for the operating system version. The event logs can all be viewed using the Windows Event viewer.
Use this class to specify which event log is written to, as well as kinds of authentication events to write. You can also specify whether to suppress audit failures by setting the SuppressAuditFailure property to false (the default is true).
For more information about auditing security events for WCF applications, see Auditing Security Events.
To specify audit behavior in configuration, use the <serviceSecurityAudit>.
The following code creates an instance of the ServiceHost class and adds a new ServiceSecurityAuditBehavior to its collection of behaviors.
