Permission Errors When Accessing PrivX Audit Folders

You may observe permission errors related to the auditor trail folder in PrivX logs similar to the following:

RDP-PROXY [FATAL] Failed to create dir /var/privx/audit/: mkdir /var/privx/audit/: permission denied

If permissions for the audit folder (/var/privx/audit by default) or its parent are misconfigured, PrivX may fail to create or access them, logging access errors.

Potential Solution

Ensure that the audit folder exists and is accessible by the PrivX service.

Run the following commands to correct permissions and ownership:

chmod 755 /var/privx/audit
chown privx:privx /var/privx/audit

These commands ensure the folder is owned by the privx user and group, with appropriate read, write, and execute permissions.
