Global Protect SSO user id

L3 Networker

I have a portal and 3 gateways setup working with LDAP and active directory. It is setup to use user-logon with Single Sign On. All this works without issue. What I am having issues with is I have my firewalls intergrated with LDAP and Active directory groups, I use these groups for policy rules.    What I am seeing, is that the Global Protect user will sometimes show only userid in the traffic logs, and not domain\userid, at some point it will switch to using domain\userid.   This is causing me issues.  Any thoughts?

I have usually seen this issue when "Enable Server Session Read" is enabled and the user tries to access any resources such as printers etc. Can you check if it is enabled and try disabling it if possible ?

Hope it helps !

Where is that setting?

On the UserID agent or on the firewall (if Agentless)

I have about 21 user id agents servers spread out across the globe, the default setting is set to 'NO' for Enable Server Session Read.

Do you by any chance the same user in the local database on the firewall ?

No local users configured. 

Also can you verify if domain name is correctly configured in server profile that you are using in the authentication profile for authentication in GP.

In the ldap server profile I left the domain blank, but when do a show user user-ids match i get domain\user.  I added the domain local name to the server profile.  When I tested global connect the traffic logs showed the id without the domain, but then switched over to domain\user after about a minute.  not sure if i just caught it on the cycle or not.

markk96 Make sure it is the netbios domain name, to find out netbios domain name: How to Determine the NetBIOS Domain for LDAP Server Profile in Windows 2003 and 2008 Server

I did put the netbios name in, so far so good.  Thank you so much.
