SQL Server must generate audit records when successful and unsuccessful logons or connection attempts occur.
Medium Severity
<VulnDiscussion>For completeness of forensic analysis, it is necessary to track who/what (a user or other principal) logs on to SQL Server. It is also necessary to track failed attempts to log on to SQL Server. While positive identification may not be possible in a case of failed authentication, as much information as possible about the incident must be captured.
