Security
The Security block on the administration dashboard groups the platform's built-in security monitoring and auditing tools. It is separate from Security Settings, which configures security policy (password rules, CAPTCHA, HTTP security headers, and so on) — this block gives you the reports and tools that watch the platform for suspicious activity and unwanted changes.
The Security block on the administration dashboard, listing Activities audit, Login attempts, Simple IDS, Password strength checker, and File integrity
The block was introduced in Chamilo 2.0 with four tools and extended in Chamilo 3.0 with a fifth, File integrity.
Accessing the Security Block
From the administration panel, the Security block appears alongside the other dashboard blocks (Users, Courses, Platform management, System, and so on). Click any of its links to open the corresponding tool.
What's in the Block
Activities Audit — Browse important administrative and platform events (user, course, session, and other changes) by event type
Login Attempts — Review failed and successful login attempts, with charts and a searchable log
Simple IDS — See requests flagged by Chamilo's built-in, lightweight intrusion detection system
Password Strength Checker — Scan active users for passwords that match a list of commonly used passwords
File Integrity(new in Chamilo 3.0) — Detect unexpected additions, modifications, deletions, or permission changes in the installed files
Who Can Access It
All five tools require Portal Administrator access. File integrity's scan, pause, and re-baseline actions additionally require Global Administrator access, and pausing alerts or establishing a new baseline requires re-entering your own password — see File Integrity for details.
