you could also consider setting up captive portal (in a windows environment you can even use transparent NTLM) so any stragglers authenticate on the firewall directly and get a mapping in lieu of the agent getting a mapping out and lastly, you could also leverage probing so the agent goes and asks the client who they are, if no log has been read (yet) containing a logon success. beefing up the AD could help, adding a secondary with a second agent or simply as replication to have more resources and read faster could help. Not really sure what could be the best solution, the former or the latter.

This could be due to the frequency between reads, as it will take more time for the agent to update the firewall for new users. The ip-user mapping has improved from 80% to maybe around 95%, however there were times that user reports internet access is blocked for a brief period of time, then when they refresh the browser, it will work as normal. In general I'd recommend having the read timer as low as possible to get the mapping as quickly as possible If system resources are an issue, you may want to look into putting your AD on a beefier system, or setting up a replication server that simply receives sync from the primary AD and use that as your agent server, taking the load off the primary AD. In those 5 seconds more logs will also be written, so if there is some sort of latency in reading, increasing the timer may help if the log volume is not too much that adding more times simply adds so much logs the agent runs desperately behind on trying to catch up. any non-existent mappings are asked by the firewall to the agentĬurrently, the frequency between reads is 5sec, and this is because we suspect that the agent can't read everything within 2secs factoring link speed and AD performance. > User agent ONLY communicates and update firewall for delta (new/removed) user-ip mapping yes, there are no intermediate 'refresh' connections towards the firewall, only add/delete. > User agent reads the delta between its last read and latest AD read yes, with a maximum of 'last 50.000 entries' in the AD log New ip-user mapping yes (this is also true for 'remote desktop' login for example, so this could be tricky) > If another user for example user B login to the same machine A, user A mapping will be flushed, and user B will have the > If for example user A logout from a machine A, user mapping will still persist on the agent yes > User agent maps the user with IP based on the security log read, and retain its mapping based on the 'User Identification yes > User agent monitors AD servers' security log based on the 'Security Log Monitor Frequency' yes
I've added my replies in orange below so we don't lose track Hi 12 hours is perfectly ok if you're in a normal office environment where people don't go about roaming (switching IP) a lot > If the user stayed idle/locked computer for a long time, let's say 3 hours, and then my 'user identification timeout' is set to 45mins, will the agent remove its ip-user mapping?

Some times, I will let the user to logout and login again to their computer, then the ip-user mapping will appear in the agent.
Since we are enforcing security policy by AD groups for internet access, these users that doesn't have ip-user mapping will not be able to access the internet.

I have integrated a Windows Based user-ID agent to our VM-300 series firewall and having some issues with some users not having ip-user mapping.
