How to get a report of VPN connections on a PIX dbowman 07-25-07

My PIX 515E (running 6.5.4) is currently used to authenticate
different VPN connections from users running Cisco VPN Clients.
I would like to get a report of the users who connect to the PIX every
day.
My idea was to monitor the syslog and send an alert when a specific
string appears in the log (using kiwi syslog alert function)
I checked the syslog but I only found information regarding

ISAKMP session connected
ISAKMP Phase 1 SA created
sa created

with no info regarding the group used to connect. This is not useful

How can I get the correct information in the syslog so I can recognize
which user connected?

Otherwise, have you a better idea to get this kind of daily report?

Thanks

You're probably better off looking into the 'accounting' part of AAA,
see:

Should be quite easy to setup, we use FreeRADIUS running on Debian
Linux to provide authentication/accounting for vpn clients.
(Though they are terminated on an IOS router, not a PIX/ASA)

Hope that helps.
