Hi,

Ldap profile is needed for group mapping (https://live.paloaltonetworks.com/docs/DOC-2910).

     the answer is list of existing group and user and which user is  member of which group.

User-id agent (or agentless) is needed for user mapping.

     the answer is which IP is associate with which user.

Before a security policy can be written for groups of users, the relationships between the users and the groups they are members of must be established. This information is retrieved from an LDAP directory, such as Active Directory or eDirectory. Hope this helps.

Take a look at the below doc, this will give you a clear picture of -

Enumeration of users and their associated group membership.

Mapping of those users to their current IP addresses.
