 <p>Fortress audits use OpenLDAP's slapd access log overlay.</p>
 <p>The Fortress audits rely on slapd events to track its data exchanges performed within its own APIs.  Change event tracking includes adds, updates, and deletes of Fortress entities.  Read and search events tracked include user authentication, authorization, and policy interrogations.  Full historical data change tracking is maintained and may be searched later with APIs to be used for monitoring, reporting, and undo. The log may be retrieved later to synch with outside database for long-term regulatory and compliance concerns.  </p>
