High number of logins to AD

L0 Member

Good day,

 

Is it normal for the account that the FW uses to get the user-id information from AD to have a high number of logins? Across our entire network, this account is over 90% of all of our successful logins. It just seems that this account is logging in way too much.

 

Thanks

Well firewall communicates quite often with domain controllers.

Try if installing UserID agent on domain controllers solves this issue.

you could install a UserID agent on the AD which will run as a service so won't need to authenticate as much (the agentless deployment needs to connect to the AD so it may request authentication each time and log each event)

Hey,

 

Sorry for the intrusion. 

How ofter the firewall talking to the agents or it is actually agents feed the user mapping to the firewall?

How about sys log listener (s):

So Palo listens for syslogs from the syslog server or another way you can use the agent as a listener and then point Palo to talk to that agent. Sorry, my new journey USER-ID 😉
