The WebAuthenticationFailureAuditEvent type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | WebAuthenticationFailureAuditEvent(String, Object, Int32, String) | Infrastructure. Initializes a new instance of the WebAuthenticationFailureAuditEvent class with the specified event parameters. |
![]() | WebAuthenticationFailureAuditEvent(String, Object, Int32, Int32, String) | Infrastructure. Initializes a new instance of the WebAuthenticationFailureAuditEvent class with the specified event parameters. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | EventCode | Gets the code value associated with the event. (Inherited from WebBaseEvent.) |
![]() | EventDetailCode | Gets the event detail code. (Inherited from WebBaseEvent.) |
![]() | EventID | Gets the identifier associated with the event. (Inherited from WebBaseEvent.) |
![]() | EventOccurrence | Gets a counter that represents the number of times the event has occurred. (Inherited from WebBaseEvent.) |
![]() | EventSequence | Gets the number of times the event has been raised by the application. (Inherited from WebBaseEvent.) |
![]() | EventSource | Gets the object that raises the event. (Inherited from WebBaseEvent.) |
![]() | EventTime | Gets the time when the event was raised. (Inherited from WebBaseEvent.) |
![]() | EventTimeUtc | Gets the time when the event was raised. (Inherited from WebBaseEvent.) |
![]() | Message | Gets the message that describes the event. (Inherited from WebBaseEvent.) |
![]() | NameToAuthenticate | Gets the name of the user to authenticate. |
![]() | ProcessInformation | Gets information about the ASP.NET application-hosting process. (Inherited from WebManagementEvent.) |
![]() | RequestInformation | Get the information associated with the Web request. (Inherited from WebAuditEvent.) |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | Equals(Object) | Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | FormatCustomEventDetails | Provides standard formatting of the event information. (Inherited from WebBaseEvent.) |
![]() | GetHashCode | Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | IncrementPerfCounters | Infrastructure. Increments the Audit Failure Events Raised performance counter. (Inherited from WebFailureAuditEvent.) |
![]() | MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | Raise() | Raises an event by notifying any configured provider that the event has occurred. (Inherited from WebBaseEvent.) |
![]() | ToString() | Formats event information for display purposes. (Inherited from WebBaseEvent.) |
![]() | ToString(Boolean, Boolean) | Formats event information for display purposes. (Inherited from WebBaseEvent.) |
The following list describes the features for which WebAuthenticationFailureAuditEvent events are raised by default by ASP.NET.
Note |
|---|
By default ASP.NET is configured to log audit failure conditions only, as logging success conditions can severely strain system resources. You can always configure the system to log the success conditions. |
Forms Authentication. While success audits include the user name that was authenticated; failure audits do not include the user name, since they typically result from a ticket that failed decryption or validation. Both contain the client IP address. The related event audit code is AuditFormsAuthenticationFailure.
Membership. Both success and failure audits contain the username that was attempted. Neither form of audit will contain the password that was attempted, because that would risk persisting a valid password in the log. The related event audit code is AuditMembershipAuthenticationFailure.
When a WebAuthenticationFailureAuditEvent is raised, by default it updates the Audit Authentication Failure Events Raised performance counter. To view this performance counter in System Monitor (PerfMon), in the Add Counters window select ASP.NET in the Performance object drop-down list, select the Authentication Failure Events Raised performance counter, and click the Add button. For more information, see Using the System Monitor (PerfMon) with ASP.NET Applications on MSDN.

In most cases you will be able to use the ASP.NET health-monitoring types as implemented, and you will control the health-monitoring system by specifying values in the healthMonitoring configuration section. You can also derive from the health-monitoring types to create your own custom events and providers. For an example of deriving from the WebAuthenticationFailureAuditEvent class, see the example provided in this topic. |
Windows 7, Windows Vista SP1 or later, Windows XP SP3, Windows XP SP2 x64 Edition, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core supported with SP1 or later), Windows Server 2003 SP2
The .NET Framework does not support all versions of every platform. For a list of the supported versions, see .NET Framework System Requirements.
