Authentication logs in Blackboard LMS track login/logout security events—capturing IP address, session, user ID, and event time—in a standards-based format suitable for third-party forensic tools.
The log displays these events:
Logins
Logouts (including whether a logout was manual or due to session expiration)
Login attempts
Messages
Errors
Logs persist until deleted, though the authentication provider log table only retains 10 days.
To access the Authentication Logs page, from the admin panel:
In the Integrations section, select Authentication. Then, select View Authentication Logs.
In the Tools and Utilities section, select Logs. Then, select Authentication Logs.
